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.
Sorry to hear about that. Thoughts and prayers for you guys, and anybody in need of services, up there.
