>>We had 5 inches rain here in central MD, but the winds never got real high, and we only lost cable for a while, but not phone or power. A few trees down here and there, lots of traffic lights out, low streets flooded, small tree limbs in my yard, that sort of thing, but nothing that a good ol' nor'easter doesn't do :)

>Wow! So it was worse here. Hmmmm... I would of thought since DC is about 2 hrs south of me that was the direction Floyd came from that you would of seen worse or equal mess. I guess when Floyd came up the river basin here he built up some more ummmmphhh.

Well, when I say the winds never got real high, I mean like 90 mph. They were over 50, I think. There were a lot of news items this morning showing trees through house roofs, cars smashed by trees, power outages, and live wires in the DC area. But it was nothing like the Big Ice Storm in January that mainly hit just my local area in MD. In fact, I think that helped spare my area yesterday, all the precarious trees had already been toppled during the ice storm :)
