Checking in from the Alexandria section of Northern VA. Even Old Town Alexandria didn’t flood, and they ALWAYS flood as the Potomac overflows its banks.
We lost power at 9pm but were restored by midnight. Terrific work by Dominion Power, with special cheers to the crews who go out in this mess lest we be without our creature comforts. Temps here are now down in low 40s, with snow to the N and W of here.
All public transit still closed down, while mgmt evaluates. Imagine everything will be close to normal by Wednesday.
Good to hear you’re hanging in there and your power was restored. That’s impressive and I’m sure you were surprised as well.
I think we will get a better assessment of the damage in the morning.
Thank God, some good news in some (actually many) places. I’m afraid the bad will more than make up for it, though.
The wind has been blowing from the northwest. When it blows from the southeast, it sends a lot of water up the Potomac. Lucky this time for Alexandria, but not clear until the next high tide etc. with all the water coming down the river from the rainfall that could cause flooding.
