[Magdalen] 4-13-2020 Early morning storms in Southeast

[Jay Weigel]

High winds in northern Virginia...right after we picked up all kinds of
branches down in the yard! Grrr. I need to check with daughter in east
Tennessee to be sure that all is well, I expect they also had high winds
but no worse. Chattanooga was hit hard but is 2.5 hours southwest of them.
Her husband will be very busy.
