Sandy is pretty much over and done with. Looking at what happened in New York, they should've called it Hurricane Gozer. Judging by the desperation of the people on the news, I'm guessing it wasn't as bad here in DC as they hyped it up to be. AOL Keyword: DC. The DC "area" gets hit hard in any storm, but DC itself usually doesn't have many problems. I turned on The Weather Channel this morning to see images of submerged buildings and cars. The banner across the screen said "Washington, DC," but the high tension power lines in the shot told me that it was somewhere out in Maryland. "DC AREA" just doesn't have the same ring to it I guess.
During the day I played Jim Cantore. That's when you go out into a storm wearing a weatherproof coat and test the limits of your life insurance. I was bored, so I figured I'd walk down to the grocery store and laugh at the people stocking up on ketchup and tastycakes. There were a few people there, but not enough to really entertain me so I grabbed some chips and Skittles and went home. Last night we popped some popcorn and stood in front of the window watching the tree out front do yoga in the wind. The capped off with a few episodes of The Wire and then we went to bed.
I feel for the people in NY and elsewhere who were seriously affected. I know some parts of DC were damaged, but it wasn't the 100 ft marshmallow man that they promised us.
