All of it the result of people getting to the rally. For us, we had other things we had to do and can't go, but it seems like the local news, reporting about the local impact, is indicating a big turnout.

5. They're packed during rush-hour. Not so much on a Saturday afternoon.
Hopefully, Metro is running more trains than usual today. It's not as if they didn't know this was coming.
