Wow, twice? And then walked home in it? Saying they were lucky is a major understatement. Someone was watching out for them.

Glad they are OK.
My daughter lives just before the split for Warrenton off 29. Her neighborhood got hit hard. |

Today's morning news:
 Apparently my son wasn't exaggerating. I'm still mad they walked through or around downed power lines.

Glad they were safe. It's good to have a chainsaw in the vehicle after storm events. I had a 24" diameter tree fall on front of me and was able to reopen the road with a lil 12" highly portable Kobalt battery chainsaw that you can get a Lowes for ~$120.
ETA...don't stay mad, just teach them about electricity. I've had to drive over many hot lines.....just know what the risk is and what you're doing. We are going to see more precarious scenarios going forward. |

I drove up Routes 522, 15, and 17 yesterday morning from I-64 northward to I-66. When I got to the Southern States in Elkwood/Culpeper on Route 15, the light was out, and VSP were directing traffic. The Southern States was on generator power. Pumps open, fridges running, hot food, but no A/C. Trees, big tree limbs, etc were down all the way northward, the worst looked like it was around Warrenton. Big trees fallen across the large power lines that run along Route 17.
