A lot of power outages and damage were the result of this storm. We just got our power back on; plus we have a lot of downed tree limbs. Others in the Metro, however, are still without power and had far worse damage.

Meanwhile, this storm also finally broke the several week old heat wave. The 100's are gone at last; at least for a while!!!
