Do you remember this? What a wild evening that was...

It's been 10 years since the June 29th, 2012, derecho impacted the Mid-Atlantic region. Widespread damage was observed across nearly the entire area. This included observed wind gusts up to 80-85 mph. For an interactive summary: http://tinyurl.com/bdaeh22t

1. I remember I was watching The Two Mrs. Carrolls on TCM when

The power went out. And I really wanted to know how that movie ended! Was luckier than many, only without power for about 36 hours.

2. Shit. You ain't seen nuthin'.

We was out of electricity for 12 days after Hurricane Sandy.

I took a picture of the incoming hurricane from the top of Cape May, N.J. lighthouse. It was two days before the hurricane hit and it showed a large, grey cloud bank filling the southern sky.

3. That would have freaked me tf out!

I remember preparing for Sandy, but nothing much happened here.

The storm blew the top off a huge tulip poplar and slammed it into - and through - our screened - in porch. Many of our neighbors suffered damage that was far worse. It looked like a war zone. It was 100 degrees for days following the storm, and of course there was no power. Yes, I remember it well!
