Yesterday was overcast all day, with rain on and off. We heard that another weather system was headed our way, coming up from the south, and boy, did it! I went to bed about 10 PM, but something woke me up about midnight. I could see what looked like heat lightening to the east, and low rumbles of distant thunder. Went back to bed and was getting comfortable when I heard a few raindrops on the roof. Another few minutes, and what sounded like a cloudburst hit my roof -- heavy, heavy rain, and then another sound - a roaring that got louder and louder and I thought, Oh Lord, it's a tornado! But then, as suddenly as it came, it passed, and everything was eerily quiet, and my roof was still there, so I drifted off to sleep. This morning I heard that a strong line of thunderstorms passed during the night, and there was a good bit of damage in a line from D.C. to Annapolis. The most that I saw was that all the beautifully colored leaves were now on the ground and cars.
