I was enjoying a Richmond Kickers game when this went down. Near as I can figure from the photo above by Jennifer C. and the Facebook posts, this happened around 7:10 and power is still out for some folk.

Let’s block off a street and have a party! All Westover Hills neighbors are invited to attend the annual Westover Hills Neighborhood Picnic on Saturday, May 18, from 4:30 p.m. to dark. The picnic will be on the 1900 block of Prince Arthur Road, between Evelyn Byrd and New Kent. This is a great event for everyone to meet their neighbors. We will have fun activities for the kids like clown face painting, balloon twisting, bubble wands, and kid games. Kids and adults will enjoy the music of local band the Misty Centrals and the best of O’Toole’s picnic food. Soft drinks, wine, and keg beer will be provided along with grilled burgers, hot dogs, barbequed beans, desserts, and all the fixings.
Children attend free. Adults pay $10 if they are WHNA neighborhood members or $15 each if not a member. You can join the neighborhood association at the picnic.
The weather will probably be wonderful, but if the picnic must be cancelled due to rain we will try again on Sunday, May 19.
The picnic is hosted by the Westover Hills Neighborhood Association. For information or to volunteer, contact Cass Meagher. [via WHNA website]

Richmond firefighters pulled two people from the James River tonight near Riverside Drive and 42nd Street.
Firefighters were called at about 5:20 p.m. with a report that a kayak had overturned and two people were clinging to a rock.
They were pulled to shore and no injuries were reported.
At first I pondered whether to use an insulting word. Then I remembered that the thunderstorm warnings came out fairly early yesterday and should have been checked before heading onto the river. It was a tough call but I went with drongo in the end.

The Forest Hill-Bliley Road Neighborhood Association, Inc., is sponsoring a neighborhood yard sale this Saturday, May 18, 8:00 AM until noon. Weather looks like it will be perfect for a yard sale day!
A number of homes in the neighborhoods off Bliley Road, on Cedarhurst Drive, Lansing Avenue, and Old Willow Court between Forest Hill Avenue and Cedarhurst Drive will be holding yard or garage sales for this first-ever event. A balloon at the mailbox will mark participating sales. Sale items listed so far include: household items, books, clothing, furniture, office supplies, holiday decorations, jewelry, purses and totes, Avon products, Home Interior products, and tools.
Also, as a fund-raiser for the Association, donated items and baked goods will be available for sale at the multi-family yard sale at the corner of Bliley Road and Forest Hill Avenue.
