Well, mastermind, I wasn't able to watch any of the news coverage, but I heard some stuff on the radio... Tons of people without power, some without clean water, worst flooding in DC in at least 30 years...
And I don't think it was downgraded to a tropical storm until after it hit land...
Of course it's not the worst hurricane to hit the US, but it's the worst storm to hit DC in some time...
