Just Got Internet Back - WHAT A STORM
Hey Space Placers! I hope all of you in the DC, MD, VA area are OK! I am down in Charlottesville this weekend and just got Internet back. We got hit with 65+ mph winds at 10 pm last night and the lightning erupted knocking out power. Fortunately we got power back at 2 am on Saturday but Internet was down until just 5 minutes ago. We were very, very fortunate to have power unlike the hundreds of thousands who do not. I have lived in VA for almost 19 years and I have been through 7 typhoons, including a category 5. The weather is becoming more violent, plain and simple. We in VA are in a declared state of emergency due to the largest power outage in the state's history caused by a non-hurricane event. Temperature records fell by the thousands between Friday and Saturday across the U.S. I hope all of you are safe, cool and well. I will start back to the stars for you tomorrow. May you get a good night's rest..... Sky Guy in VA
