whoo boy

[personal profile] ellen_fremedon and [personal profile] pocketmouse (and presumably [personal profile] aerye) are affected by this. Not that either of them was on the train, thank goodness, but the live wire in question was evidently (previously) supplying power to their bit of the grid. And obviously they can't get the wire strung back up until they get the people off the train that's tangled in it. Which seems to have happened about an hour ago? Let's hope those guys have their electricity back on tonight.

I know this isn't WMATA's fault, but can I be mad at them anyway?

Your area has the worst luck with electricity ever. I'm glad you dodged this one, at least.
