9/25: Tornado damage

I was disappointed by the news coverage it received in Washington last night. I checked the Post, NBC4, and WTOP...little if anything.

Rho and I used to live in Mount Rainier, which is just to the southwest of College Park. We used to hang out in College Park regularly, particularly for dining, liquor purchases, and doing laundry.

Apparently, all this occurred around 5:30 PM ET last night. One year ago, at about that time, I would have been exiting the West Hyattsville Metro station (which is one stop away from College Park) and making the short walk back to my apartment from work. Now granted, this sort of thing can happen anywhere at any time, but this hit a little too close to home for me.
