There is kind of a big window there.is that 3 p.m.? 5 p.m? 7 p.m.? I would have liked to have had a better idea of when they thought we'd get hit with the storm. My first question, they kept saying it would hit during evening rush hour. For at least 3 days we'd been hearing about it. This storm had been forecast since last week. The big questions this morning in the DC area was "How could this have been avoided?" Did OPM screw up allowing the federal government to close 2 hours early.essentially releasing the hounds all at the same time? Could public safety done a better job? Could radio and news outlets have done a better job? Lets just say, I had a lot of time on my hands to think about things. While my situation was bad, I can't imagine being in the shoes of a parent trying to pick up a child at day care.or a parent who was able to get the kids only to get stuck in the traffic with no food, water or bathrooms. I told her I was thankful I was all by myself. My mom told me she couldn't imagine how terrible it was and she said she felt bad that I was all by myself. There were people who got stuck on GW Parkway for 14 hours. My neighbor who left Tyson's corner at 3:30 made it home at 2 a.m.almost about 10.5 hours. While pretty horrible, I gotta say it wasn't as bad as others. My commute time took me 9 hours and I was home a little after 3 a.m. I've heard it called "Commute from Hell" and "Carmagedon", whatever you call it.it truly sucked. Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be stuck with thousands of other DC Metro residents in the worst rush hour ever. I set out thinking my commute home would be over 2 hours, 2.5 hours at the most. Queue the theme song to Gilligan's Island.
