Even Shadow Senator Paul Strauss had a car in the parade. And a classic one, to boot.

The elements apparently really had it in for the Postal Service last night. Not only was the Curseen-Morris Mail Processing Facility/Brentwood Post Office one of the many properties near Rhode Island Avenue NE which lost power due to the high winds, but the Post also reports that two postal employees suffered minor injuries after the wind blew out windows on as many as 30 mail trucks at the building. True to the creed, however, normal mail service is not expected to be affected in D.C. today.
