Multiple trees down and moderate damage in Shenandoah & White Oak Landing. Some roads impassable. I was outside when first burst hit and it was straight line. The winds shifted and all hell broke loose. I estimate 70-90mph winds. I have trees and fence completely down but I have neighbors with 24"+ dia trees down, some blocking roads.




My in laws are in the back of Shenandoah near White Oak and sent a text about lots of debris in their yard and limbs down on their house.

Don't know why some dumbass is downvoting me.


It has been a weird thread. Some dumbass said there was an F3-F4 near downtown BR but it wasn't touching the ground. He got nothing but down votes. I replied 10 posts later saying "WTF is an F3 that isn't on the ground" and got damn near the same amount of down votes. I then referenced that post later and said "I'm getting down voted for calling him out" and that post got nothing but up votes.

I'm all kinds of fricked up right now.

shite, I'm pretty sure everyone spotted that storm.

In fact, people were spotting weather phenomena that wasn't even occuring.

Are we sure this isn't a hurricane. I'm getting really bad gusts off of Elliot right now.

I'll say this the neighbors came out in Woodridge/Briarwood to check on one another. Looks like Briarwood took a hard hit. I didn't see any major damage in Woodridge. Just,lost,power

....and I just lost power. This doesn't seem like one of those "it'll be back on five minutes" kinda outages.
