Alonzo McKelvin, an employee with the Department of Public Works, tosses sandbags into a pile so that they will be ready to go into residents' cars at the Department of Public Works in Southeast Washington, D.C., on Friday, Aug. 26, 2011. In preparation for Hurricane Irene, each District resident is entitled to five sandbags. The Department of Public Works says they have 75,000 bags today and more coming tomorrow. They'll be distributing sandbags until midnight Friday and will start again at 8 a.m. Saturday morning. (Barbara L. Salisbury/The Washington Times)
