FORTUNATELY -

There was no severe weather, but it was white-knuckle driving going home! The rain and wind was so storng at one point, it was like driving during a blizzard where you could barely make out the tail lights of the car infront of you! :eek:

We had also lost power for a little while this afternoon due to the wind.

Yes, Stephanie - no severe weather in my area either. But lots of rain and some gusty winds that blew my recycling bin about 200 yards down the street. I think my area picked up about 2 inches of rain.
