Roof collapse in Georgetown

[Recursion]

Getting this off twitter; no MSM confirmation yet.

Wind is about 35-40 knots now judging by the trees' bending at Howard. Rain much heavier. Still have power.

Grad school arts & sciences building; new building, surprisingly.

2. I wonder if it had quake damage that was missed

3. School Without Walls (public magnet at GW) is going to have problems from that too

They apparently have cracks you can see sky through in the roof.

(And, yes, more than one person has commented on the irony of the school's name and the earthquake damage.)

4. Yeah that is ironic for a name

Lousa CO could have some really bad damage per the governor. They found out they had a lot more quake damaged structures.

5. Also three rowhouses on R st have had their facades collapse
