Derecho Watch with CNN's Donna Brazile

Starting Wednesday, CNN contributor and former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile began tweeting about the Washington area derecho, which is essentially a series of severe storms.

Is Brazile our new source for weather updates? No.

But we're calling this Derecho Watch with CNN's Donna Brazile...

What's on your menu? Fresh broccoli tonight. Gardening before the next round of storms. twitter.com/donnabrazile/s…

The #derecho is a nuisance. Be careful. Get your batteries ready, water, toilet papers and a good book in case you experience loss of power.

#severeweather blues. Don't let it steal your joy or run down your batteries. Re-charge ahead of the #derecho. And check on your neighbors.

The sky has darken so quickly, trees twisting but not a drop of rain or the roar of thunder. Just another cloudy day inside the beltway,

The sky has opened up. My garden is being treated once more to God's refreshing waters. And whatever else falls from the sky. #gardenchat

This storm is one of those southern beat downs. Fast moving, hard charging & Multi directional. But those storms often occur later in day.

All clear? Just picked up my newspapers from the curb. The first storm is being called the "warm up."
