Must be the same storm that took several of my trees down (east coast Virginia USA) last night. It was a violent storm. 90 MPH winds. Made 80 foot tall oaks bend like straws and they were almost touching the ground. I spent the morning running the chainsaw just to clear the downed trees from the driveway.

AEP (local power company) says about 65% of customers in this area are w/o power. May be days before it's fully restored. Hope no one from the HN community got hurt.

Edit: I posted this from a computer in town. No power at my place so I can't respond to follow-up posts.
