A Tree Grew in DC, but not anymore...

img alt="" src="" />We are starting to see some of the first damage here in the DC area.  This tree destroyed a car but, thank goodness, no one was injured.

I don't think we will be hit very hard.  The highest winds are predicted to be at Dulles and Leesburg, both of which are just a few miles from where I am.  The hightest winds recorded so far here are only 50mph.

Over 60,000 homes have lost power in the area around DC, but we still have power.  I made beef stew and baked cornbread this afternoon.  We should be just fine.

About the Author
I'm a 64 year-old flight attendant for a major US airline. Prior to that, I owned an ice cream store and six hot dog carts and put my five kids thru college on hot dog earnings! Prior to THAT, I was Director of International Administration for Domino's Pizza, Inc. I was married to my H.S. sweetheart (dad of my 5 kids) for 17 years. I've been with Jeff for 23 years, but we just finally got married in 2016! Jeff & I live in Cape Meares, OR right on the beach. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI, where many of my kids/relatives still live. My flying base is Washington, DC, where I have a condo that I stay in when I'm between flying trips. My dream is to retire and stay home with Jeff and my two cats, Kenneth & Barbara...not happening soon, though. So I go home whenever I can get a week or more off. I LOVE to meet up with other EXers in the cities where I lay over. I usually blog about what cities I'm laying over in, so let me know if I'm staying near you! I'll buy dinner!! Xxxooo, Sky
