The saying is supposed to go, "I left my heart in San Francisco" but this weekend with many of my closest friends and family on the East Coast my heart is in DC. I also own a home in DC so I'm a little concerned about it too. But, I know that everything will be OK.
The media keeps saying that this is one of the worst hurricanes to come through DC in 50 years or something like that. I don't want to disagree but in DC I have been through at least one hurricane in recent memory. In fact, there was a hurricane in 2003 that I absolutely remember had wind gusts 60mph and higher. I stayed home from work and after the storm was over there was millions of dollars of damage. I remember going to the movies after it was over and it was tough getting through the streets because of downed trees and power lines. The Metro closed because the water rose and flooded the rail system that the trains couldn't run.
So, while I totally agree that this is not a good storm to pass through DC, I think the media is once again getting carried away (at least with how it will affect non-coastal areas) and doing a good job of getting people really riled up. At least I hope I'm right and it is a less intense than predicted. Whatever the outcome, I am sending good thoughts to all of my friends on the East Coast especially those along the coast because no matter how intense the storm is...facing a storm that looks like this is never good:
