We've got power here on this end of DC....but McPhereson Square Metro did not. They were letting everyone pass through the fare gates (obviously).

This will create ANOTHER nightmare this evening when everybody in the world has to get their fare card adjusted/reset because they "entered" the system with a metro card but did not "exit" the system using a metro card.

Get to the Metro EARLY!!!!!!!
