It's a (not as) Bad (as we feared) Day

This morning while trying to locate local coverage of Isobel's aftermath, I was simultaniously following Kris' link to the new REM video. It was a surreal experience watching Michael Stipe and the gang reporting on extreme weather while looking at the real extreme weather that my parents, friends, and co-workers recently experienced.

My parents are fine, although without power and water in Fairfax, and running on the generator in Montross. I hope everyone else made it through the stormy night alright.
