I was on a conference call this morning to Sterling VA (not far from Dulles). The participants there said the wind was absolutely howling, with power knocked out to thousands in the area. It sounded like pretty serious stuff. I'm sure the pax were happy to reach their destination safely, but I can imagine some might have preferred a cancellation or diversion. Who's going to pay for all that dry cleaning?
Thanks for posting the Justin Fenton twitter thread re the NOAA report. Some of the comments are pretty funny, with of course many gravitating to the classic "Airplane" clips.
