Storm Stud - That's what you're gonna have to call me, because tomorrow I leave D.C. to head down to Norfolk to spend some time in the office and keep an eye on my sis and grandma as Isabel bears down. We haven't seen anything this big come our way since Floyd in 1999, which was a very scary storm that rivaled Andrew at one time. However, it mostly ended up causing a lot of flooding problems, especially in North Carolina (51 dead) and outlying areas of SE Virginia. As it happens, Isabel is expected to continue on past and soak DC as well, but I'm counting on Jamie being able to handle the sandbagging here on his own.
