The afternoon's storm

Sword Chick:
Hey Sir Edward!  Missed you at class last night.  (Through rain and sleet, etc.  nothing is going to keep me from dagger night.)  Did you make it through the storms okay?  It sounds like it was rough in your neck of the woods.

WASHINGTON - Some 261,000 homes and businesses are without electricity and several major school systems are closed after powerful storms blew through the area Wednesday afternoon, killing at least one person.

The National Weather Service issued over 70 warnings for the region Thursday.

Teams from the National Weather Service will be out to assess whether any tornadoes touched down. Reports of suspected tornadoes have come in from Anne Arundel County, Chesapeake Beach in Calvert County, as well as the Annandale/Falls Church area and Ashburn in Virginia.

Sir Edward:
Yeah, sorry I missed class last night. I had some things I needed to work on here, and I'm often less inclined to make the trip through the storms when it's a night that I'd be coming all the way from Sterling. :)

I saw a lot of downed trees on the way in to work this morning. I still have electricity, but my co-worker who lives out in Leesburg doesn't, last I heard.

How many people showed up? Are we still doing dagger next week?

Sword Chick:
It was just Mark and I last night.  I wasn't going to miss dagger, so Mark didn't have a choice.  ;)  Dagger again next week too.  Life is good.  :)
