This weekend the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial on the National Mall was going to be unveiled. People are coming into DC from all over the country to witness the opening ceremony originally scheduled to take place at 10 am on Sunday...
However, it has just been announced that the ceremony will be postponed. Why? Because of hurricane... Hurricane Irene.
Irene is expected to pound the entire East Coast including Virginia, Maryland, DC, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. My university is recommending that we be prepared to go without power and stock up on food we can make without cooking or refrigeration and water. I'm actually starting to get a little concerned...
Not to mention there was an earthquake in the same area on Tuesday. Mother nature just won't cut us any slack this week.
