Bring it Sandy...just make sure you bring it hard enough that the government goes code red!

It doesn't take much.

I experienced Isabel there back in '03. Although I was lucky and didn't lose power for more than a couple hours in the middle of the night. Friends weren't as lucky and had it out for days. A friend down in Annapolis discovered coconuts on the creek bank behind his house!

I hope it doesn't take much! I commute from Silver Spring to the BWI area and 95 wouldn't be fun in a hurricane. My contracting firm says if no code red, you have to take PTO if you're not coming in...which sucks since I'm new and don't have much PTO built up

I hate when you have to take your own time off! I just got the official email saying that NVCC is closed. My students will be thrilled as they were supposed to have a mid-term!

Stay safe!!
