Case Scenario

I’m both a two-time ex-Washingtonian and a survivor of Hurricane Hugo, so I do feel for y’all.
Get a good nap today. If the weather forecast holds for tonight, you won’t be getting any sleep. Whatever happens, believe me, it will be easier to bear if you get a nap before the commotion starts instead of no nap and no sleep between now and maybe noon Friday.
I faced Hurricane Hugo 200 miles inland from a town just west of Charlotte, North Carolina, and on three hours’ notice.
Compared to a lot of my neighbors, I got off pretty lightly, but some of the memories aren’t going to go away.
