It’s been a dramatic couple of days here. High winds, rain, and perpetual monitoring of the Weather Channel with one eye while looking apprehensively out the window with the other as tropical storm Sandy pelted our region.

Fortunately, the area where I reside did not lose power and damage to our immediate area does not appear to be too bad.

The District did a good job preparing for the storm by basically shutting the city down and advising residents not to venture out until it passed.

That said, the storm definitely left its mark. I went out today for a short stroll through the neighborhood. Here is some of what I observed during my outing.



I also made a quick stop by the grocery store.


In case you wondered, I did not buy any water or bread.

I hope you made it through the storm unscathed.
