whooooooooo

scarey

A little late there, don't you think? Considering that it states until 4PM and you posted at 4:21PM.

It's raining here in Northern Baltimore County. Some thunder and lightening too. No wind whatsoever.

I only got the email at 3.51 and was working at the time. It looks like four horsemen are about to gallop by any moment in Bethesda.
