Luckily the worst of it was overnight, so there weren't a lot of people out or leaving for work/school which kept accidents/casualties/etc down. I think we all knew about midnight last night that the city would be basically closed today.

On the lighter side, one downside of working from home (or having the ability to work from home) is on days when it floods or snows (if you live in a snow area), all of your neighbors have a free off day and are watching Netflix and you have no excuse not to work (first world problems, I know) .

Thanks again for the concern sus453!
