They expect this powerful hurricane to hit the Virginia, DC, Maryland area by this Thursday. Winds expected over 100 mph which will topple many, many trees taking out power lines. I have taken the proper steps in case of power outage (the local lines are below ground, but the main feeder lines are not).
If the power goes out, I will not be online until they find some way to restore it. Sometimes I go without a power outage, but the cable company supplying my Internet service is in an older area and loses power frequently.
I wish I could put level 7 protects around my house
