Melanie alnwick thiselanie a morning in great falls withn the latest on the conditions there. There. Mel, good morning. Reporter hey, good morning, guys. Yeah, i think this is one ofof those areas where probably ably pretty strong cell cameg c through because theres lotss l of debris on the roads, sticks,t and branches and that sort ofor thing and you can see the roadoa is closed here. H were at utter back store road. Ro s also closed at springvale so no getting through this t army we shot some video a vid little bit earlier. Earlier. Its kind of hard to seeind because its dark but obviously theres a very largetl tree came down from a privatete yard, down onto the wires and ws it is pulling the poles down toward the middle of the roadid as well. As w it doesnt look like theyre th actually touching the streettr or that anything has been broken or snapped but certainly a very precariousri situai they dont want anybody any driving underneath that. Ing unra not sure whether this is going t to be a tough fixhi or a relatively simple fix for dominion virginia crews ason v they get out here. H not too many homes down this road, just a handful but no power to these homes. Omes trying to get someet s clarification though fromn ough Fairfax County police as faricef as what the situation is with route seven because earlier wear had a Police Officer come up coe and tell us that they decidedec to extend the closure to routeou seven. Se they didnt want anybodynt a coming in this way but theyis wy were going to allow everyone ern to get out. Out. Now some of that is a littleat l unclear as to whether itsthert actually closed or not. Sed or n. Were going try to get downetow there and check it out as. Ell. Certainly other areas here ins the great falls mheclean arean a also hit as well. Georgetown pike at lawton lto street also thats in thehas ine heart of mclean and then the weve got old dominion road att 123, major intersection there,h, not closed down though becausee of those wires but but wereut understanding only one laneon ol getting by. Thats going to cause a littleo bit of an issue this morning so, thats what it looks like here. Here. We had some flares earlier butft they have burned out. Ey h i think as soon as the lightoo comes up probably well seell some crews out here and crews or theyll start to do what they have to get these roads backac opened. Ened back to you.

You know, a Small Business hasbi a neighbor page and you can p see what customers ae re sayingn about them to determine ifterne theyre going to be successfuluc right. To get a loan but for people i l dont know. Its a little bit iffy. E biiffy a couple years ago a lot of startup lenders, theres a few f of them, they said lets lookts at facebook and the peopleeo that youre friends with towit determine if you allison canllic get a loan. Oa if youre credit worthy. Editor now it seems like everybody is backtracking on that idea. N first of all facebook has madete it really doubt getubt information from someonesomeo patient and seconds of allecondo some of these startups arere thinking the whole idea isho creepy and thats a quote. So, be friends with howeverh how you want and then try to get a loan. Lo it probably wont makeont m difference. But they probably still are l looking dont you think .

Lets check in with the sports junkies 106. 7 f. M. The fan. An hey, guys. I jinxed the caps ihe caps i predicted a fiveone winewi yesterday. You almost had it the otherer way. Way. Last caps game i went to was the one where they gave upe five goals. Ve gls. Last night it was holtbysoly turn. If they werentut this good youo would worry about things likey b this. Just an off night. Ight definitely an off night. An ot they got into a the threenothing hole. Ol they charged back made a gamedea of it. When youre down threenothing even thoughin this is g a resilient cans team you never want to count them out, threenothing is a pretty t big hole into the nhl. N you read exactly nothingot into it. Into they just didnt play well. Theyll bounce back. Hey im convinced this is best i bes caps team weve ever seen. Se they may pick up a new defenseman, mike weber. Weber. Did he even play. Probably not. N theyre just good. Theyre j i dont know what else you can n say about it. Best team in hockey. Hocke by far the best team inea hockey. So, theyre going to keepe gotok rolling. I think friday night is the nigt next game but its just a jt up for another like two monthson cause stanley cup finals are, what, in june now somethingom like that close to it. T. You wish the playoffs couldl start right now. Right. Cause you have to endure to r another 20 plus games. Am. You wish the playoffs wouldlayo start right now but hopefully theyll just stay healthy, heahy make another minor move and m they should be fine. One thing you do wonder iseri theyre having so much success now, does it start to build alda little, i dont know, kno overconfidence or evenconfence o pressure. Pr like does the team start teams cause i know as fans, steve,tee were starting to feel liketo f man, weve talked about it about even with you, man, its i starting to feel like if weo fe dont win a stanley cup itsey p going to be a big disappointment. Right. Hopefully the team doesntoe kneel way. Eel w no pressure no diamonds. No the pressure is on. P now that you and leonsiseo are bffs are you going to benge suited up on the ice the nextont time you go to the caps game. Ap. That might be bad for thet home team. Home ted is a goodbye. Oodb. We ran into him at the wizards r took a selfie with him. H i think theyre still mopping mp the floor because big surprise eb the spiller over here h spilled his drink all over therh floor. Floor. Steve, the cup holders are too shallow. Ll. Theres a flaw in the design. E theyre only an inch deep. Dee what are they do. Re theo. My beer was this tall. Hi cant believe you wouldt make a mess down b there at the verizon center. Veri oh, i can. O you dont know this guy. Hi g. We believe it. Be they believe it. I im sure it wasnt youras fault. Did you have a chance to chat a with c ted or were you justre yt selfie time. No, no, we just had a little slight littleli conversation just kind ofti pleasant stuffon buts a guy that weve known for 20 some years sa and ill be honest kind of why y i talked about that yesterday, steve, was theyre in a periodr of time where some of us haveve been, me in particular haveculaa been critical afraid that the te wizards wouldnt spend money, my maybe wouldnt make some ofould the personnel changes but overch the last four, five years theyve really shown that theytt want to go out and win and thats what is so disan pointing about this season ahi right. Theyve spent money, they gavet, john contract. Contct. Im quite sure theyll figurere out something for bradleyfor bdy beal. They created all this cap ts ca space for kevin durant. Evin durn this was supposed to be a year where 33 continue thattinue that development and why are theyey struggling. Ggli. Taking steps backwards. Ackwa. They cant stop anybody ont s defense. I think thats one of the mainne problems for this wizards team. You look at the scores thatore a other teams are putting up onin the wizards on a nightly basis s and its scary. Scary you cant beat teams when you routinely give up 103, 105, 105 110 points a game. Gam is there anyplace forre any anderson to fit in in this t team or not really . Rea hell contribute but. Ll 15 minutes of fam ce. Of f it will take away minutese am from other guys who are allre a about the same, the jared dudleys. If he can play defense andane he can defend then, yes,n, yes theres a spot for him in the rotation. On. If he cant probably not. Ot well see what happens. Ap just an off night, thats all. A no big deal. No moving on. See you guys. Ou yup. Thank you buddy. Tha you got it much junk 106. 76. 7 f. M. The fan. Fan. 6 35 now. 5 now hello. Lo. Always like hearing what l they have to say.
