Hurricane Isabel's now a category 5! (eek.)

I'm surprised that the Metro is closing so early. If the Metro is closed, they'll almost certainly close the office.

TCO: If you're drunk, you can always take the train down. If you bring a six pack, the festivities don't even need to end.

A+

Scratch that. Amtrak is closed tomorrow south of Washington. The city is going to be like a scene from The Stand.

If you are sober, then drive. (If not, please dont) You have time to make it. You can pick up provisions at a local 7-11 on the way. That's what my parents did on the way home from Cape May NJ last night. Stores out of the path will have more stuff anyway. You can charge up your laptop as soon as you get home.

The ****ing hurricane got my ethics class cancelled. Goddamnit. I like college. Stupid nature.

OHMIGOD SHE'S CLOAKED!!!!

[Boris Godunov]

I had just noticed that myself on weather.com

[MrFun]

No -- the descriptive location is still written under the hurricane's name, so it can't be cloaked.

I'm home. There is no real weather in Richmond yet. little bit of wind and sprinkle. And people walking around at night. I didn't get any provisions, but I will fill some jugs with tap water. That should get me by. Hoping that this whole deal is totally overrated. I don't even want to lose power...

[Jon Miller]

hopefully I won't lose power either

why the **** ain't I studying?

[TCO]

Cause you need something to get you motivated. Grad school can be funky that way...

[Jon Miller]

I am going to my classes this semester

and I have done HW this semester (just am a bit behind)

Glad to hear it. Still you need to be seduced into more applied stuff. Even if you are doing math/modeling in it. solid state is cool. As is classical E/M.

Is it absolutely necessary to have TV reporters stand right in the most vicious part of the hurricane as they transmit their live TV report? If that was my job, I would file a grievance with the union!
