We got ourselves a big 'un here!

HFS. The largest storm I have ever experienced has just passed through here. Winds in Ann Arbor, Michigan, were reported to go up to 95 mph. There were no tornadoes, but there were a few funnel clouds.
At our school, power went out at 1:51 PM. Five minutes before that we were marvelling at the hugmongus dark blue-green clouds above us.
After the storm passed, the road in front of our school was flooded. Some high schoolers came to our school, claiming they went through waist-deep water to get there, with proof to back it up. As we passed through town, we saw too many downed branches to count. Small roads were sometimes clogged with water. Sediment was dropped off over all the pavement.
When we finally got back home, we were glad to see nothing was damaged, and that the pwer did not go out. The pond in our backyard was unnaturally large, but that was of little matter to us.
Has anyone else been hit by the storm, or do you have any good storm stories?

Reason: I need to spell 'blue' right.
