Hurricane Sandy

[TinCow]

I'm quite surprised, but Sandy was pretty much a non-event here (locally) even though it looks like (what was left of) the eye passed within 10-20 miles of us. A little water in the basement, but we get that during a heavy rain anyway. Lost power for about 20 seconds - a miracle because we lose power all the time in storms. I guess the trees in our area held strong against the wind gusts of Sandy.

I'm wondering if drone and TinCow faired worse in the DC area. drone hasn't been here since yesterday.

It was a non-event out my way as well. We had a single power flicker and that was it. In my entire neighborhood (Vienna/Oakton) I saw only one tree down, and it was a small one. On the drive in this morning I saw three largish-trees down on Constitution, but pretty much nothing else. DC, at least central and areas west and south, appears to have been spared the bad stuff. Oddly, my parents lost power for 12 hours... and they live in Cleveland.
