Us as well.... It seems it was worse in northern VA where the greatest population density is. Barometer is now rising... 29.32.
We still have power. One of my wife's friends had a tree limb hole her roof. Our subdivision is heavily wooded and it's still dark so I don't know the extent of the damage. I think that Isabel was much worse. Our winds seemed to stay in the mid-30s. I don't think we had too many gusts above that but that's just a guess. I need to invest in a weather station that tracks all this stuff.
Here's the one that I use Jim.Heh. I was just looking at those, too. Though I like the 2090 better. A bit more self-contained. And I might splurge and get the dual-zone one, so I can have two displays.

As for checking in after the storm, here I am. A whole bunch of hype and not much substance around here. (Boy, could I make a comparison that would send this to the Arena!) Dead limbs and some small branches down. Creeks are within their banks. Weather is beautiful at the moment, though I'm expecting more rain, but just scattered showers for the moment. Looks like the real rain is over PA, NJ, WV, VA, MD, DE, etc. for now. Power didn't even flicker enough to reset my alarm clock.
Looks like the '80 and the '90 are the same unit except for the sensor array. I like the '80 better because I separated my sensors a bit for better placement.They are quite similar. Even the same price. I want to see a few more reviews, because I saw a few complaints about the temp sensor for the '80. (That you should purchase the optional solar shield for it to get correct readings, as the included one wasn't sufficient if the sensor was in the sun) I didn't see anything similar on the '90, but I want to check more before sending my $$.

I've got a really tall evergreen (cedar?) in my backyard that while it has always had a slight lean has me very uneasy as it appears to be leaning more than I'm accustomed to seeing... I'm sitting at the dining room table watching it waiting for it to crack and take out the shed and fence hopefully missing the garage and the house next door.
