As if the flash flooding wasn’t enough: over 4,000 lightning strikes were recorded in the area last night, along with close to 70,000 power outages.
With a week full of record low temperatures, Seattlest wondered if we'd ever see the sun again, and so did guest-blogger Ryan Dobosh. Bostonist laid the smack-down on two dumbass students who videotaped their neighbors getting it on, then shared the video online. Gothamist found that taking photographs at Coney Island can mean, at least for one photographer, that the police and other people can force you to hand over your film, or "things are going to get much worse for you."

DCist experienced a difficult and sad Friday the 13th with a massive power outage and the sudden death of Washington media legend Tim Russert. Chicagoist saw Republicans target (future First Lady?) Michelle Obama. Phillyist was up in arms against breed-specific legislation, which, if passed could see loving family pets confiscated or even euthanized, just because of their breed. Londonist reminisced over their long obsession with funky footwear, then celebrated the release of Adidas London trainers.
