My BiL in Paoli had a massive oak branch hit his house in Paoli, PA, this week. It didn't spear, but did crush his eave.
Last night, in the DC area, we had a solid storm, but not too bad. Nothing major came down. (There's this dead branch, probably 50' up, about 6" in diameter. Fortunately, it's between houses...)

I'm just down the road from Paoli; all sorts of mess; we lost power for 2 days, got it back for a few hours, then splat again. PECO's outage map web site is awful, plenty of false-alarm "you're fixed" premature texting going on...
