Sandy

This is the current radar from weather.com regarding Hurricane Sandy. Its been raining in DC since about 5pm yesterday, and the wind picked up this morning. I use the trees I can see across the way from my apartment building as a gauge for how windy it is out, and they have been swinging around pretty well for the past couple of hours, even more so in the past few minutes. And the best part? The eye of the storm hasn't even made landfall yet, its expected in the next 2 hours or so, so the worst is yet to come.

Metro is closed, meaning I had no way to get to work this morning. That wasn't a problem though, as non-emergency personnel were granted admin leave today. I'm wondering what the case will be for tomorrow as it is supposed to get worse for us overnight. Apparently 50 million people are being affected by this storm, with 10 million expected to lose power. I'm good so far, and I'm prepared if I do lose power, but I think I'll be ok. This really is quite a storm.
