I was out of town when the storm on the 4th rolled through NOVA and came home to see 2 HUGE trees in our neighbors back yard completely ripped out from the roots. I just took some pics today.

so does that mean your house is damaged or just your neighbors? I didnt even noticed there was a storm that day.

 

Mainly our neighbors, our house had very minimal damage.
I was about an hour and half South West of Fairfax and we did not get rained on at all. I got home a couple afters after the storms rolled through.

 

Good..well i mean for you not your negihbor...Glad your car wasnt parked near any trees that fell. Couple of years ago my bro parked his "89" Blazer 2 feet from a tree that fell over. If he had parked 2 feet further up it would have been crushed. Sad to say his neighbor wasn't fortunate cause the tree was tall enough to reach his car on the other side of the road. Had my bros car been there it would have saved his neighbors.(well maybe)

 

The trunk of my mom's I35 was dented by a tree branch that ended up on it, and which also took down the *** cable line running to her house in Fairfax City. Other than that, it was pretty crazy seeing her deck filled w/ branches - thankfully none large enough to cause any considerable damage.

 

holy cow man!! looks like the ground was so saturated that the wind strength > root strength. yikes...

 

Bonkers...those trees are huge! They are incredibly lucky...both trees missed the middle of the house.
