My wife's with her mother in a retirement community in Silver Spring. The community will bring in four truck-mounted generators tomorrow morning so those folks on oxygen or need electricity for other medical things will have it. My wife bought six days worth of food, some water, and is charging her US and European cell phones, just in case. She's not overly worried, they brought in the patio furniture as per the community instructions.

I hope she can stay in touch; I assume that the DC area would be a high priority for communications repair.
