There are local outages here but my electricity is still on. It blinked a few times last night. Another storm is coming in now, I can hear the wind.
My son, who lives closer to the WV line is without electricity and it may take up to a week to restore it, he was told. And he's working all weekend in WV fixing the damage to lines up there.

I saw some video clips of these storms and in one it looked like a hurricane.
Yes, he's an unsung hero. They just keep working until the job is done.
I heard thunder from tonight's storm but it clipped the west end of the county and went south. The "derecho" winds are, I think, what Jim McCanney used to call "himicanes," which are straight-line winds. A bad one hit the Tatras Mountains back in 2004, 110 mph straight-line winds.
