This is really happening but some people need to settle down.

NBC Washington reported there are "lines" at gas stations all over the place at DC metro gas stations [link to www.nbcwashington.com]

I got gas in 5 minutes across the Maryland border. No different from usual.

It isn't as bad as they're making it out to be. In SOME cases. Obviously WV has some serious issues, I feel for them. I also feel fortunate I have power IN the city - if ours went out vs. some WV areas, I imagine all hell would break loose. I wouldn't be able to leave my apartment as my front door is electric-controlled. It would be more devastating for me as an urban resident at ground zero - I think - to get through a few days or even weeks of that.
