We survived the storm and the tornado watch.
I think.
Here's an early morning post-storm report from the roads.
The big issue you will find out there is debris. There is stuff everywhere - downed branches, tossed trash can and mud that has washed across the road from last night's powerful storms.
I encountered branches all over the place. Combined those with the atrocious potholes that are adorning most roads and it's like maneuvering a slalom course out there.
While most of the roads are still wet and there was a bit of ponding, I didn't encounter any flooded roads. That apparently is not the case in many areas across the region.
There is still a light out on Springfield Road in Springfield, but the road is now open once again between West Avenue and Norwinden. It was closed for hours yesterday afternoon after power lines came down.
PECO is reporting 9,000 customers across the region still without power.
We actually got off pretty easy compared with what they had to deal with down South. Several people were killed as a series of tornadoes rolled across several states. Nasty storm clouds were seen looming over the White House and Washington Monument in the nation's capital.
Spring can't get here soon enough.
