Two hours ago I got a call from a neighbor in Virginia. Their 3 dogs are panting and can’t be consoled.
Me:
Batten down the hatches. Get your emergency kit ready. Warn neighbors to BOL. ==>
Dogs know something is up!
We are also tracking weather-related impacts on bus – including some school trips. Our crews are working with our partners, including @DDOTDC, to address fallen debris. Plan your trip on Metro Pulse before leaving home, and follow @Metrobusinfo for a full list of impacted routes.
Team Metro has been working all morning to address the aftermath of the storm – including this huge track obstruction at Franconia-Springfield, which has been partially cleared and is not impacting service. We appreciate your patience during the morning commute and will keep you updated as clean-up efforts continue.
This Arlington traffic-cam, looking down restaurant row on S. 23rd Street, gives you an idea of how intense the storm got around 11:45 p.m. Video recorded by https://t.co/HDXYZCSOZB. @ARLnowDOTcom@capitalweather@matthewyoung31@NFTC_News#weather
