this is a disaster. millions still w/o power and it is 90+-100+ degrees. dangerous heat.
12 are dead from storm like a hurricane. :(
i think some of our members are w/o power, and i know i haven't been able to reach my sister and brother in Maryland in 2 days.
full story at link below.
---------------------------------------
The bulk of the storm damage was in West Virginia, Washington and the capital's Virginia and Maryland suburbs. At least six of the dead were killed in Virginia, including a 90-year-old woman asleep in her bed when a tree slammed into her home. Two young cousins in New Jersey were killed when a tree fell on their tent while camping. Two were killed in Maryland, one in Ohio, one in Kentucky and one in Washington.
In Washington's northern Virginia suburbs, emergency 911 call centers were out of service; residents were told to call local police and fire departments. Huge trees toppled across streets in the nation's capital, crumpling cars. Cellphone and Internet service was spotty, gas stations shut down and residents were urged to conserve water.
