Heard a loud BOOM about ten minutes ago. Sounded like a transformer going. Facebook comments indicate they lost power two blocks over. Makes me wonder exactly what in the transformer is making that boom noise when it goes. When a circuit breaker in my house trips, it just makes a loud click.
Wind still isn't very bad at all, but occasional strong gusts. Steady rain for a few hours now.
Meanwhile, Arlington County email alerts seem designed to put the fear of God in people.
