See, the way I figure it, every city has their natural disaster/misfortune that every just sorta half-expects and accepts the possibility of as the price of living there. In much of the West Coast its the Big Quake. In Seattle, its the day the Mountain erupts. In Spokane, WA (my hometown) it's the big firestorm some summer. Heck, we had one of those in my lifetime. In Florida, where my roomies from, its the Big Hurricane.
The way I figure, in DC our price is that in a terrorist attack/nuclear war we are the first place struck. Not that this means I think we should make things easy for them or that I wouldn't try to save myself, just that this kind of panicking/overreacting just makes me shake my head
