I've not heard, but that's not unusual. I think I might give him a call. Now.

Women, minorties and economically disenfranchised are hardest hit. I question the timing of this.

He's fine! :)

He's sitting in a restaurant...I had to CONVINCE him that he needs to be aware of more than the heavy rain that's falling.

He landed at Dulles around 1:00 local time, so he got in ahead of this stuff.
