MDinana, Google Maps does have me going on 168 (why not 664 is not obvious to me). But I'll have a couple dogs with me and will want to get the drive done ASAP. Six hours to DC is about five hours longer than I feel like being in the car today. The forecast trends are worsening for DC-VA-MD. Am urging friends to not wait until Saturday to hit Costco: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capi..._weather_latest.

beltways on interstate numbered highways that go around metropolitan areas have 3 digit numbers with the last two of the originating highway... an even number prefix indicates that it will rejoin the originating highway on the other side... an odd number prefix is that it is a spur road, and will be radial to the metropolitan area and typically terminate there... at least that is the way the original roads are supposed to be numbered...

Picked up a few extra packs of batteries, a case of water (though will lay in a tub and several 5 gallon carboys and buckets) and some canned goods, primarily so I can eat them regardless of if we lose power! Loves me my Hormel chili!
Tomorrow, will clean the gutters, gas the car and little gas can and lay in the important stuff- beer and pork rinds!
I too will be greatly put out should we miss Walking Dead! But for us (Long Island, NY), it's not supposed to hit until Mon night anyway.
Be safe, everyone!

Huff post update And some very basic (though its for the last one) but useful info: Time's advice for some basic hurricane prep.. And remember, its gonna get cold and in some places snowy/ icy.

Thanks for the info! All I know is the "5's" go N/S (ie, I-5, I-15, I-95) and the "10's" go E/W (I-10, I-40)
