Well, mastermind, I wasn't able to watch any of the news coverage, but I heard some stuff on the radio... Tons of people without power, some without clean water, worst flooding in DC in at least 30 years...

And I don't think it was downgraded to a tropical storm until after it hit land...

Of course it's not the worst hurricane to hit the US, but it's the worst storm to hit DC in some time...

76 Hours!!??? Ouch. Ours was out for 48 a few winters ago, and I thought that was bad...Thank god we have a Natural Gas fireplace....
