That's about what we got here in central Virginia. It was really more in the nature of a severe summer thunder storm than an actual hurricane, at least in comparison to Isabelle. We have a lot of cleanup to do - twigs, branches, leaves, etc. but thank goodness this time we didn't loose any trees or sustain any damage. We have, however, been without current since 5:00 PM Saturday. Thank goodness my wife insisted that we buy a generator back before Isabelle. It has been running constantly since Saturday afternoon. It's not big enough to run the AC but it does power the refrigerators, freezers, a few lamps, the TVs and (thank gawd) a few fans. Hopefully we will get our current back today. Keeping that generator running 24-7 at $3.40 per gallon of gas is a pain, but I guess it beats all your food spoiling, etc.
