I live in the eastern panhandle of WV....far northeast between western MD and western VA near Winchester.

When the storm came through, a lot of lightning but I've seen harder rain before and the wind really wasn't all that bad, at least not around my place.

The electricity flickered several times at first but it stayed on.

Being right at the eastern foothills of the Appalachians like we are here, I think the weather moving west to east seems to flow over us here as it tops over the big mountains just to the west of us. If you can visualize wind blowing across the plains, then hitting the mountains, the wind (weather) doesn't just follow the lay of the land on the other side of the mountains. It kind of flows gradually over a pocket up against the leeward side of the mountain. So that's where I am...in the pocket.

Even some of the worst winter storms seem to be a little lighter here. But as for the rest of WV, I have no idea. I was surprised to hear over a million people without power.
