I'm glad you both were able to hear from your family, friends, etc. and that, at least on that front, all is well.
I don't turn on radio, tv, anything noice of any sort in the morning, and caught the news on the way into D.C. to meet with my therapist. not anywhere near Capitol Hill. (not a day to be very self-absorbed in therapy, though.) I witnessed the site of afternoon rush hour at about 10:00 am., and parents going to schools to pick children up (although the schools did not officially close because they didn't want to send some kids home to empty houses). Montgomery County Schools (where I imagine you attended, Elizabeth and where you worked, Adam), were closed two hours early.
I did not get the feeling of chaos from being in Washington; much different scene than New York. I think the crash was not as damaging and the pentagon is away from the inner city. Capitol Hill did close, because of course no one knew what might happen next. No car bombing as far I I know. Mostly people felt and looked very sad, I think.
