Got an education this weekend while on a little genealogy trip.
Landed in Charleston, WV Friday 29 about 5:00pm. Drove down I-64 about 45 minutes.
Decided to go check out a cemetery in a little town called Pax before we went on in to the motel at Beckley.
Within about five minutes, we had trees dropped across the road in front of us and behind us.
We were without power at our motel for the next three days, people were lined up for miles trying to get gas. Stores and parking lots were empty........what a mess. Reminded me of some dooms day movie where the town gets deserted.
Just google Derecho and you can see just how lucky we were and how much devestation this little bugger did this weekend.
I have pictures, but this is the first motel we have been in since Friday that had internet service and all services up and running. We are in Richmond Va.
