Bad storms

After terrible T-storms with tornado warnings (and even one tornado touchdown) rolling through my area yesterday ....leaving Arlington as one of the hardest hit counties....here is just an idea of the damage...about 10 feet from our school parking lot. Thank goodness it wasn't my car! I went home to a dark apartment which wasn't fun with no fan and in the 80's. Thankfully my power came back during the night but half of Arlington is still dark tonight. Nothing like lights flicking and going out during a faculty meeting, rain blowing sideways, police crawling all over the streets, Columbia Pike down to one lane, lights out, power lines down, and the city in gridlock practically. I don't know how long I sat in my car just trying to get the 4 blocks home. Oh, and such a devastation....OUR CELL PHONES WOULDN'T WORK!!!!!! I couldn't make any calls out of the area. :)
