3:30 PM
The wind is now blowing hard and loose debris is skittering across the streets like rats running for cover. The trees jump around as though they needed to go somewhere but can't quite decide which direction to head. The rain continues steadily although I can still see clearly from all my windows. The Maryland Transportation department has closed the Bay Bridge and the bridge across the Susquehanna on I 95, which is sure to disrupt major traffic (such as it is) going north and south. Our mayor has just declared the streets of our city closed to all vehicular traffic beginning at 6:00 PM and continuing until noon tomorrow, except for emergency responders. Still no problem here at The Fitz. I'm very snug and feel perfectly safe here on the fourth floor. But the storm is beginning, only beginning, to live up to its much vaunted reputation.
More later. Stay tuned.
