The Maryland Renaissance Fair opened today. I wonder how that's going?

I just spoke to relatives in Kinston, NC, a couple of hours drive from the coast. They lost power around 9am today. Wind is blowing tiles off the roof and starting leaks indoors, and water is getting in under the front door, too. Hope it doesn't get worse than that -- they had Floyd's flooding in 1999. The "fun" starts for us here in Maryland this evening?
FR REPLIES: Yep. Storm center is still 95 miles south of Norfolk.

State Fair closed at 3:00 pm. No word of cancelled concert. Still charged $8 admission with $3 parking at 2:30. What a rip.

Uh, you went to an outdoor fair in the afternoon when a hurricane was due to hit the area. I'm not sure what you expected, but eating that $11 should have been a given.
