Inauguration = Massive Weather Event

I  still haven’t decided on my exact plans for Inauguration Weekend, however this post over at We Love DC has made me laugh while thinking about it.

Look at what my town issued in regards to the city being rampaged by Inauguration:

“Arlington is proud to be an important part of the Presidential Inauguration and celebrations. Arlington is expecting record crowds during the entire inaugural weekend January 17-20. Crowds and events during this weekend will affect all residents. To prepare for this event, pretend a hurricane is coming during that weekend and expect large crowds, congestion, traffic and many delays. Getting around will be difficult at best so a common sense approach will be important. Be informed, make a plan, be prepared.”

I’ve been thinking of the Inauguration as a sort of storm but I haven’t seen anyone actually tell people to pretend that it is.
