Arrrrr! I'm just fine in downtown Baltimore. My apartment complex is well sheltered by much taller buildings all around us, and no damage was reported here. Other parts of the city can't say the same. I usually live eight blocks from the Inner Harbor, but today I lived only six blocks from it. The city's Book Fair was cancelled (Boo!), and there has been no MARC train service for two days (Lazy bilge rats!). In an amusing turn of events, I showed up for work at Northrop Grumman near BWI, and found that nobody was there. Shiver me timbers! Evidently, grownups are supposed to be proactive in determining whether or not they're supposed to go to work. Remember when you were in grade school, and they actually called your house to tell you when there was no school? I miss that.

All is well here for us Ellicott City guys (Ledth, Peigon, and myself). I wish I had gotten off work on Friday. Or Thursday. Or today.

Waldorf MD here, and we just got electricity back at 5:13 this morning. Kind of pisses me off, because it was out for the three trees that are resting on the powerlines, so when it came back on, I drove up the street and the trees are still standing, meaning that all someone had to do was flip a switch somewhere. Seems friday would have been a good time to flip the switch.
