Twister, the Sequel

Forget what I said about not having to think about tornadoes. After an afternoon and evening of multiple severe thunderstorms and tornado watches (but thankfully no actual tornadoes where we live), losing power for about five hours (it just came back), seeing neighbors with chainsaws in the pouring rain cutting large branches that had fallen, and driving past a house and car two blocks away that a big tree had toppled onto, I have to say that I'm glad it's not something we typically have to worry about...

ADDENDUM: The good news is that we shouldn't have so many storms over the next few days; the bad news is the forecast highs for the next week are 90, 94, 96, 98, 95, 95, and 91. Ah, nothing like summer in DC!
