Mark and Kathy McCarthy of Mason City have a particular interest in hurricane sandy. That's because one of their daughters, Sarah, is currently living in Washington, DC. That's making for a somewhat stressful next couple of days.
“I figured it was going to get kind of nasty out there from what they were saying I follow the news quite a bit,” said Mark McCarthy, Sarah’s father.
Mark says so far his daughter is reacting to the news just like he would expect.
“She doesn't seem real concerned about it and I think she's going to get surprised a little bit,” Mark said.
That surprise could show up tonight.
“The winds are starting to pick up but I think we're going to see it start to get worse as the day goes on,” said Sarah McCarthy.
Sarah, who is a former KIMT intern, is spending a college semester in the nation’s capital but didn't realize this would be part of the experience.

Sarah says DC could be without power for up to a week but hopes they're able to ride it out safely, something her father agrees with.
“It's just going to be one of life's experiences basically and we all have to go through it,” Mark said.
