Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!

I was in Austin at the end of March. The weather was awesome. We were told that it was going to change very soon. :)
About...MAY and beyond, they would be praying for a cold front of sub-100 temps.....

We had a tornado or damned-near a tornado hit Winchester, VA on Friday night. We had winds that were straight on at 100 miles an hour. Lost power on Friday night, but it came back up later in the night. Yesterday, the electric company said that 14,000 people were still without power, countless others without Comcast TV/Internet. Comcast gave no timeline of when service would be restored.

Fox News also reported that at least 14 people were confirmed dead from the storms and they were searcing for others in damaged apartments/townhouses, etc... Very bad and we are hearing rumors that this is the second most destructive storm Winchester has ever gotten, with most of the town sustatining damage of some kind..downed power poles, stop lights, etc...

I live next door to my dad and between the both of us, we had 3 trees come down. Spent all day yesterday sawing wood and then half of the evening burning the huge brush pile that had accumulated from the cleanup. We were lucky that our homes and vehicles did not sustain damage, only the trees and some fencing that was torn down..

More high temperatures this week and another threat of serious storms maybe mid-week.

I cleaned all the trim (sprayed down with clorox and rinsed off) on my 4500 sq ft office building and it was hot. It was so bad I had to drink Vodka and tonics for the rest of the evening. My wife thought I was drinking water until I started acting a little funny.

I'm surprised at how few claims I have had the past few days but so far I'm not seeing a hugh swing in claims. I did have some up in N Va. and a few around here but only one big claim so far.

just got power back last night. 87 degrees in my house yesterday.

Still waiting for power here. One of the few times I'm super thankful to go to work in the AC. Have to say, I've been reading the Dominion power Facebook page and have never seen a bigger bunch of whining in my life. People act like all these workers are doing is sitting on their asses. The state is in a state of emergency, those people need to lay off Dominion, BARC, Appalachain. Jeez.

It's hot and it totally blows, but there's nothing that can be done right now...
