Did you feel it?

I'm a little confused because wapo doesn't seem to think it will be any big deal, but everyone else seems to think it's Certain Doom. Do we stock up on spaghetti-os? Just make sure we get the books out of the garage?

Here's the drill....

A good percentage of the locals will panic and there will be a run on the grocery stores. Milk, bread,TP, and strangely ice cream will get cleared from shelves or already have been.

The wind and the rain will come.

Ask your neighbors about the reliability of power reliability in your neighborhood. Chances are they will laugh at you. Pepco rates last in the nation for a reason.

Remember that rain we had earlier today? Yeah, we lost power for two hours from just that. Last time a hurricane came close we lost power for a week. So be prepared for that. If you have a gas stove kudos. If you have Fios phone service don't forget it will die after a few hours without power.
