We got between 5 and 6 inches of rain betwewen Sunday at 6 pm and Tuesday morining, accompanied by wind gusts to 60 mph. The entire DC metropolitan area was basically shut down for 2 days (Monday and Tuesday) but mercifully there was little wind damage in our neighborhood. This may be as a result of the violent derecho storm in late June that ripped out huge numbers of mature, weakened trees. Our power went out twice on Monday, the scond time for 3 hours, but that caused miniscule hardship in comparison to what others suffered. The local utility (Pepco) was able to plan in advance and request crews from other parts of the region (1800 workers) which helped speed up reconnection times.
