Montgomery County, Maryland really dodged a bullet this time. Unlike the Deracho in July, we have relatively few people without power although 10,000 is nothing to sneeze at. But in the Deracho, it was half a million without power for 5 tp 8 days. My garden is sodden with about 8 inches of rain. But no trees have come down.

I'm about to build a fire in the fireplace and heat up some soup.

How did you come through the storm?
