DCers - going out tomorrow

[karinothing]

Do you think the roads are going to be undriveable tomorrow? We have somewhere we have to be that is important tomorrow. It seems like the storm is largely going to die down tonight around midnight and winds are only supposed to be 20mph tomorrow (rain is supposed to die down too).

I really don't want to reschedule but if we do we won't be able to get in for another couple months. Sorry I am being secretive.

So what say you? the 395 and other major DC arteries should be driveable tomorrow right?

I think it depends on how many large trees are blocking roads.
I think it also depends on which roads you'll be travelling (some are more prone to flooding)

Additionally, we'll still be getting 50mph wind gusts until Tuesday PM:

I might try to make it to my parents tomorrow (especially if we lose power and they don't).

They're a pretty straight shot down 95 though so I'm not too terribly worried about flooding and downed trees.

I really think you'll have to make a game-day decision.

Yeah, this would be 395 and N. Cap so I think those roads should be fine. This hurricane is so annoying.

I just feel bad cxling the day of. BUT I would have been pissed if I cxled today and then it was fine tomorrow (or well not horrible). Especially since we can't get in again until Dec.

I really think they will understand. It isn't like you are blowing them off for a minor rain storm.

Metro announced closure again tomorrow - I guess they are anticipating major clean up.

Ha, yeah I know. They just already called and asked if I wanted to cxl. I said no because they couldn't get us in again until dec and I really don't want to wait that long. But I guess they will survive.

Do you think wherever you are going will be open tomorrow? I think a lot of things will be closed. It will be interesting to see if I'm expected to be in at work tomorrow.

Yeah, so far they are open. They don't close
