Thursday night's storm -- just before midnight -- was INSANE in DC. Widespread 60-70 mph gusts... almost like a hurricane.
Here's video from H St. NE from @we_are_wellfed on Instagram.

It’s a private event with a dress code. Not every venue has to accommodate every subculture — and “discrimination” doesn’t automatically mean someone’s rights were violated.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read 😂
Three hiking novices asked Gemini how to climb 14,179-ft Mount Shasta.
It packed them for an 8-hour day.
They left camp 3 a.m.
They were supposed to summit by 7 p.m.
Gemini said pack simple carbs, not fats, because fats “take too long to digest”
Horrible advice 😂
Phones died. Backup chargers died.
One person blew their knee out.
Night fell on them at 11,000 ft in Mud Creek Canyon, with no extra layers.
They survived but barely.
“We relied too much on AI rather than our own critical thinking.”
You think? 😂
Jason Gillespie "They have a Test loss and the players can’t play any more so they go and pick a whole new group of players. That situation where they have sacked seven players and a couple of coaches mid-series — has there been any other country that has done that? I cannot remember that. A couple of those guys had not even played a game on tour. Explain how that works. There is definitely no communication between Aaqib Javed who is meant to be chairman of selectors and the players. The players who were sacked heard it through family and friends and the media they had been sacked. How disrespectful is that?" #ENGvPAK #Cricket
Newsweek reports that the USS Abraham Lincoln will make another port stop before returning to the United States, extending a deployment that has already lasted 286 days. The carrier was originally expected home in early summer but was diverted from the IndoPacific to the Middle East in January to support U.S. operations during the Iran war.
A family member of a Lincoln sailor told Newsweek that the additional stop is needed because the carrier still has to fulfill time originally assigned to the IndoPacific after being diverted. The Navy has not independently confirmed that explanation, and Newsweek notes that multiple port visits during a carrier's return phase are not unusual and can serve maintenance, logistical, diplomatic and crew welfare purposes. Publicly available Navy material also does not establish that carriers must “make up” a fixed number of days after a diversion.
The Lincoln arrived in Thailand on Sept. 2 after approximately 250 days without a port visit, allowing roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines to go ashore. The Navy says the carrier will return as part of a planned rotation, while congressional lawmakers have raised questions about the deployment's effect on service member well being, maintenance schedules and fleet readiness.
