Even if you didn't know something was coming, you'd know something was coming. The air is singing with it. And of course everyone does know something is coming--all the schools are closed, government offices are closed, whole families are out walking their dogs before the storm hits while other folks are simply out in their yards, picking up everything that might remotely possibly be dangerous in a high wind.
Public transportation service in the area has been suspended. Down in Virginia Beach, people who have chosen to ride out the storm are being asked to write their names on their arms in permanent ink so they can be identified later. It won't be nearly that bad here, inland a bit and on higher ground. Most of the worries revolve around the likelihood of downed trees and long power outages, though downhill there are still puddles from the last rains a few days ago and there will be flooding whether anyone asked for it or not.
It's a beautiful day. I'm going for a walk.
