But the one "disaster" I lived through there--2003 blackout--meant everyone around Ann Arbor was on the road too.

I thought of this every major rainstorm in DC. Roads clogged under normal circumstances. We have so little leeway in our infrastructure.

It might be safer if the Metro wasn't entirely dysfunctional.
