Frankly, I've been wondering if there's something Going On.
Last Friday, there were severe thunderstorms in the region; at one point, looking at the radar, I noticed that there was a circle of unusually heavy rain centered on DC, lined up just about exactly with the ring of the Beltway. Those storms produced flooding at the college where I work, and I had to come in on Sunday to help repair damaged computer equipment.
On Sunday evening, there was more rain, and the same building flooded again. The building is still largely shut down, and schedules are disrupted.
Yesterday, there was the earthquake; the college closed down shortly after 14:00, despite the apparent lack of damage.
According to current forecasts, we are all but guaranteed to get at least the outside-boundary effects of a Category 2 hurricane this coming weekend.
At this point, I'm waiting to hear the announcement of sudden wildfires, or swarms of mutant wasps, or something equally outlandish. This is getting kind of weird...
