powerless.

So, two thirds of Montgomery Co is without power aka 210,000 people. This isn't including DC and the Northern VA area. We've technically been without power for about 36 hours and it'll be awhile before we have it again.  Jen and I woke up early yesterday because our house is a sauna sans AC and decided to venture to Starbucks.  The line was 40 people out the door.  The line of cars into McDonalds was probably 20 cars on River Road.  So, we drove a little further into DC and waited at a Starbucks there, but all of the street lights were out.
