There are many times when you just have no words for what you’ve been through. This is not one of those times for me. We got hit, square-on, by the derecho storm that ran through much of the northeast on June 29, 2012. Here’s a NASA clip on Youtube of what it looked like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xjmUZq4I7M.
