From Anne Arundel County, just outside Annapolis, MD:

Up until 1:05 EST I would have said the all was ok--light rain, light to occasional strong gust. Minor problem this AM with the sump pump float valve, which didn't turn on the pump and, after some encouragement from a few blows, started the pump before the basement flooded. (Note to self: find backup.)

Then, for no apparent reason, the power went out (1:05 pm est). 30 seconds later, the genny started and about 3 minutes after that I finished rebooting the modem and router and I'm back up on-line. Just in time to get a skype call from our 4 year old grand neice (helped by her Dad) in eastern europe who was worried about the storm. (Apparently getting big coverage there.)
