Yesterday, Metro announced the preparations it was taking for hurricane Irene, saying in a press release that "chainsaws are being deployed in Metro motor vehicles for use in the event of downed trees."

While they later clarified the chainsaw statement, the notion of chainsaw-wielding Metro workers is pretty funny.

Wonder how many chainsaws Metro owns.
