Oh, sorry, how could I be so insensitive.  Are the bikes ok? 

Now we're talking!  Well, three out of four bikes are OK. The other one is in the shop, and I have not been notified one way or the other to its fate, but I think it was out of the path of destruction.

Thanks for asking!

Glad you are OK.

Don't worry, you'll never be on the list!  ?

We rode out the storm in the basement hallway. It was over quick, and I didn't see any horrible damage on our morning dog walk.  The place that did get hit harder is where we usually take the pup for a special walk, so maybe we'll check it out today.

Probably only @donkpow was worried, and he didn't have a working flip phone in order to shoot me a text. Time for him to scour the streets again.

 

I would have been if I were not so concerned for my own safety. I was cowering under the blanket on the couch while John Wick defended himself against armies of assassins. Pretty scary, I tell ya.

Watched it.  Thousands of shots with only a few reloads, other peoples guns and knives.  The other actors sucked.  They never hit anything.

Arrived yesterday afternoon, said it was raining pretty hard.

...more evidence.  @Razors Edge , here's what you have to look forward to:

 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.

As they all ran for their lives, an anti vaxer dared to look back and was immediately turned into a pillar of Salk.

...when the Destruction of D.C. is described in the Book of Page, @Razors Edge will be fleeing on his bicycle, turn to look back, and be transformed immediately into a pillar of carbon fiber.  Thus it shall be, and thus it shall be written.

Doesn’t have @Old#7 live there too?

Thanks for asking! Not far from me, about 7-10 miles. No damage near me. I was working al the LBS Friday night when the rain hit. We closed at 8, drank a few beers in the shop and headed out. Wipers were going double speed but still couldn’t see very well. Made it home and had a late dinner. Alls well that ends well

So, it went right down the main road by my house (Town Center Parkway).  So, maybe 100-200 yards from my driveway.  An EF0 - the wimpiest of all tornadoes - but a tornado nonetheless.

image.thumb.png.6a10e19f8e54c4e24085869580e8c7fb.png 

FIRST EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE WAS NEAR FOX MILL ROAD AND PINECREST ROAD
WHERE SEVERAL TREES WERE DOWNED AT APPROXIMATELY 855 PM EDT. ISOLATED
TREE DAMAGE FROM THIS POINT TO NEAR THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 
COMPLEX ON SUNRISE VALLEY DRIVE WAS NOTED, WITH SEVERAL TREES TOPPED 
ALONG GLADE DRIVE NEAR ROSEDOWN DRIVE.  AFTER PASSING ACROSS THE 
DULLES TOLL ROAD (ROUTE 267), MINOR TREE DAMAGE WAS NOTED BETWEEN 
SUNSET HILLS ROAD AND BARON CAMERON AVENUE. THE TORNADO TRACKED ACROSS 
RESTON HOSPITAL CENTER, WITH NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE, BUT DAMAGE
WAS NOTED JUST NORTH OF THE HOSPITAL ON TOWN CENTER DRIVE NEAR TOWN
CENTER PARKWAY, WHERE A TREE WAS TOPPED, FENCING BLOWN DOWN, AND
SHINGLES BLOWN OFF SEVERAL TOWNHOUSES.

AFTER CROSSING BARON CAMERON AVENUE, THE TORNADO PASSED JUST EAST
OF TRADER JOE'S GROCERY STORE DESTROYING AN OUTDOOR SHED THERE. 
NEARBY, A TALL, TWO-FOOT DIAMETER TREE CRASHED THROUGH THE UPPER 
FLOOR OF A TOWNHOUSE ON QUIETREE DRIVE IN RESTON, THAT LED LOCAL 
OFFICIALS TO CONDEMN THE PROPERTY. SEVERAL LARGE TREES WERE EITHER
UPROOTED OR TOPPED ALONG BENNINGTON WOODS ROAD BETWEEN CROSSWIND 
DRIVE AND RESTON PARKWAY. A LARGE, 100-FOOT TALL TREE FELL AND 
SMASHED THE FRONT END OF AN UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE PARKED ALONG CENTER
HARBOR ROAD, MIDWAY BETWEEN RESTON PARKWAY AND NORTH VILLAGE 
ROAD. MINOR TREE DAMAGE ALONG A NARROW PATH WAS NOTED IN 
NEIGHBORHOODS LOCATED BETWEEN NORTH VILLAGE ROAD AND RESTON 
PARKWAY BETWEEN CENTER HARBOR ROAD AND WIEHLE AVENUE. NO 
SUBSTANTIAL STORM DAMAGE WAS NOTED NORTH OF WIEHLE AVENUE, WHERE 
IT APPEARS THE TORNADO WEAKENED AT 900 PM EDT.

Are you still pissing and moaning about our total lack of empathy?

You need to track that in a spreadsheet.  Anything more than a few numbers is unmanageable.

Why bother?  No matter how long it takes, @Kzoo will claim victory.  I wish he  would just give me his address so I can send him the $5 and the coozie.

That will get it here.

Please forward the company crap coozie to @Zephyr.  He will pay the import duty.  If you have any trouble with the export documentation please see @BuffJim for assistance.

...the most important part of this story seems to be the rise to prominence of Valerie Bonk. More on Ms Bonk.

She has probably heard so many "bonking" jokes in her life.  :( I wonder why she hasn't changed her name to Valerie Boink ?

Lil Von Shtupp would be a good name, no?
