POWER TO THE PEOPLE
11:20 AM
My power is still out, so I've dragged the laptop out to the car.... The problem was a dead tree that came down on the lines last night. It put on one helluva a show, to.
The sun is now back out. Unfortunately, so is the electricity for 2 million customers in the DC area. A lot of roads--even main roads--remain blocked. The Potomac, which did flood some low lying areas, is receding for now. However, it is expected to flood again in a day or as the 8-10" of rain that fell in the mountains eventually heads for DC.
Nearby Fairfax and Loudon County are recommending that their one million customers boil their water.

A CRISIS WORSE THAN Y2K

OH MY GOD!!!!! The 7-11 by my house never got their donuts last night!!!
