Lots of engines trying to open closed roads. 235 and 245 were/are blocked (I can’t tell) and there was a rescue call that had guys trying desperately to open a roadway near the fairground area, but they had to send out the call to abort. The storm is intensifying and all units were ordered back to their stations. Sad :(
we have some friends already at St Mary's College. knew their power was out a while ago.
We haven’t had occasion to leave the house at all this weekend, so we’ve been staying in and watching TV/surfing the Net. Just getting ready to put kids to bed now. Last update from NAS Patuxent River at 10:52 had wind from the north at 35mph gusting to 51mph. I’m supposed to work Mon (I substitute teach at local middle school) but I’m starting to doubt we’re going to have school at this rate...
