Damages, afaik, nobody was hurt near the convention. I was leaving the Masquerade earlier, when there was no rain, wind, and thunder (fortunately). It looks like the worst part of the storm hit the area between 7 and 8 pm.It looks like a lot was happening during the Hugo awards. I hope no one was seriously hurt.
It's not over yet. People are advised to stay inside the next few hours, though.
