And to determine what is likely, start with what was. In the DC area, I focus on hurricanes (rare, but Isabel messed things up in 03), ice storms, damaging wind storms (tornado touch downs, sheer winds), heat related power outages, terrorist attacks (can affect distribution of consumer goods - i.e., no groceries on shelves for a few days), serious flu outbreaks and localized civil disturbances (expecting some of these real soon).
“...localized civil disturbances (expecting some of these real soon)”.
Yeah Meow, I live near the same area as you do, and I am also expecting trouble. Forewarned is forearmed.
I hope nothing happens, but I want to be prepared.
