All we can do is wait

And wait and watch endless Weather Channel reports most of the night. For awhile, I thought they'd never have a reporter north of North Carolina, but finally their person in Virginia Beach showed up. The Post ran the usual "I remember Agnes" story, which may prove apt. At least one report suggested Isabel may resemble Agnes in flooding terms when she blows through DC. That could be *bad* news, because we really really don't need the rain. Agnes dumped 11.5 inches of rain on Washington in 24 hours.

This is just weird. I'm used to worrying about other people during hurricanes, not me. I'm used to thinking good thoughts about friends and family in NOLA or Florida or occasionally South Carolina. And here I work in a nice ultra glassy government office building...
