It was pretty bad. Trees down everywhere here in MD. Power out to most of Bowie and Upper Marlboro. Oddly, we had power restored. I feel bad for folks though because they said a million without power and its 104 outside. Starbucks in FFX was busy. Had lunch at Costal Flats. The bad part is the power being out means many intersections have no lights which is a recipe for shenaningans.

Thats exactly what I said to Patricia as we dodged all the downed trees. There was several that landed across Highway 301 South and we passed one that was leaning over onto the lines. The crews were busy trying to saw them down safely as everyone else was trying to get through the intersections. The entire town of Upper Marlboro was out of power. The gas stations, Mickey D's, Wendy's, Shell, Citgo, 7-11 were out.

Yup all of Bowie is dead. I tried to get some food but everyone had no power. The only places I found open were Popeyes and Subway on 450 headed towards Racetrack Rd.

I can't even imagine being without any power with the heat the way it is. I read a lady was crushed by a tree that fell on her while she was sleeping last night and another crushed by a tree that fell on their car. That was in Springfield according to WTOP. I'm sure its not over yet with the heat and all.

I just got word that my power is out but cable is working. I guess I could be way worse off. But this heat sucks azz.

LOL you roll like a motherfvcking BAWS 24*7 Shahid!
Do feel free to rub it in K. Enjoy Australia and do come back to the blistering heat our way I hope all are safe. We were lucky not to have any power outage but I have relatives in the area without power since yesterday night especially with this really bad weather. It would suck not having any power for this long, especially with these temps ugh*
