F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)

Anyone having any hurricane issues yet? Not much stirring in DC. A little drizzle.

Rain just picked up in Stephens City and it's starting to get windy. Nothing bad yet, but you can tell it's on the way.

We are forcasting for 70 mph+ wind gusts tomorrow as well as anywhere from 4 to 8 inches of rain possible. Schools here are already closed.

The grocery stores are like the walking dead show. Literally they are almost out of food. I went to the Food Lion, and they were totally out of bottled water, milk, bread, and most canned foods. Funny thing is, we are almost guaranteed to lose electricity at some point so i wonder what good the canned food will do anybody...

If you've got a hand can opener, you can eat canned food till the cows come home.

A little rain and mild winds here, about 25 miles south of DC.

I was talking to my boss yesterday about the storm, and he goes "we'll definitely be open on Monday. I mean, it's just a little rain. You'll be fine driving in (I have about a 20 mile commute to work)"

There's no way I'm going in if we're in the midst of hurricane force winds and rain.
