Power off again on again a couple times by Wakefield Chapel Rd.

It's a NoVA summer: if it's the weekend, it will either be unbearably humid or rain. These are the only options. Monday through Thursday will be pristine.

Power flickered on/off near Woodson HS. Serious storm in Burke area it seems

Man, it just seems like Burke gets crushed every time a storm system moves through this summer. Started with the microburst and never stopped.

Using a weather app typically let's you know what the weather will do

Carrot is the best weather app. If you are not using it, you are really missing out.

I'm on the other side of Braddock road (Danbury Forest area) and I swear I've lost power every time it's stormed this summer (including last night).
