Threat of storms moves out of DC area, power outages remain

By Will Vitka

It looks like the weather will take pity on the D.C. region Friday, as most of the storms threatening the area have moved out, though they left some power outages in their wake.

The bulk of the outages are in Fairfax County, with just over 1,300 customers without power in those regions.

Cooler air will move in following the storm, and temperatures should dip into the low 60s to upper 50s Friday night.

Car prices are about to soar again, thanks to Hurricane Ida

By CNN
Just when car prices looked like they were edging down from their record highs, they're heading skyward again. It's Hurricane Ida's fault. Ida caused widespread flooding from Louisiana, where it came ashore as a hurricane on August 29, to the heavily populated Northeast, where its remnants hit hard a few days later. It killed at least 86 people and its flood waters destroyed hundreds of thousands of cars, including many that were on car dealer lots.
