Re: current weather
I looked out during the peak of the storm and watched my basjoo clump whipping in every direction. Surprisingly, when I went out to clean up, very few torn leaves! Its a tough plant!
And we were lucky. A 6 year old boy was killed when a tree toppled on to the minivan he was in. Waves in the Potomac swamped a boat with 7 people aboard; 2 were rescued by another boater, and the 5 remaining made it the 300 yards to shore safely. As soon as the storm started, I heard every ambulance and fire equipment siren going off. Very lucky, thank G-d.
