Toto, get in the house!

{edited} I just looked outside. Yikes!

{more editing} There's a puddle of water on the floor, even though the (west-facing) door is shut. The rain is blowing right past it. I'm not going outside anymore than I have to.

451p: Radar indicating intense, damaging winds near Tysons/Falls Church pointed at Arlington and NW DC. Best to be inside and stay away from trees.

We had 62 mph winds on Friday. That's 100 kph.
