It Rains, It Floods

The following message applies only to Monday, June 26, 2006

Federal agencies in the Washington, DC, area are OPEN under an UNSCHEDULED LEAVE policy.

I guess the storms and related flooding were worse than they expected.

[EDIT] Yup, it was pretty darned bad (link courtesy roadkill0877)

Metro riders will find problems on the Orange and Blue Lines because of flooding at the Federal Triangle station. There is no rail service between Metro Center and the Smithsonian. A bus bridge is being established for riders between McPherson Square and Metro Center and Federal Triangle and the Smithsonian.

Also, on the Green and Yellow lines, there is no service between L'Enfant Plaza and Gallery Place.

Um... shit. That's only the hub of the entire system.

Yikes.

Yeah. Basically I can't get from here (Waterfront on the green line) to upper NW or NE. :D Good thing work's just a 25 minute walk away.

If you have any idea how much it sucks to try and compete with people from three different lines all trying to get onto shuttle buses, you'll understand how my morning went.
