Finally got the power and cable back on tonight after beeeeg storm rolled through DC area Friday night. Lots of downed power lines and damaged substations. Man, 95 degrees and humidity and no AC sucks. Daughter said that Columbus was clobbered too. But yeah, there have been far worse storms this year, so I'm not whining...too much.

I was woken up by some charming person setting off fireworks and I checked the outside thermometer; it read 38.7 degrees. I'm hoping the cold temperatures and rain will prevent any fires from getting out of control, but we get some crazy wind that could turn a fire into something out of control, quickly.

For some of us it's 38.7 degrees CELSIUS.

After being a bridesmaid yesterday in 110 degree heat, I'd say the heat wave we are having is severe weather! I don't know how we made it but we did. Can't wait for a break and 80 degree weather. Never thought I'd ever say that.

My parents are in Columbus and they just got their power back on last night (had been out since Friday). They weren't expected to have it back on until the 7th, so the power company was a bit ahead of schedule I guess.
My siblings and I ended up putting them in a hotel on Saturday- no reason two people in their 70s should be in a house without power in 100 degree heat for five days...

SE Part of Ohio here...some friends of ours still do not have power and AEP is quoting Sunday or even as late as Tuesday of next well. Thankfully is has been raining here all morning and that has kept the temps down.
