3.5" is all it took for Monkey County (what was reported to me)?  We got 8+ here in Manassas.

Trying to motivate myself to go for a ride.  I need the exercise, but I also have a strong desire to park my butt in front of the TV and watch Band Of Brothers.  Decisions decisions...

Chris, do you have the Dvd series?
As for Martinsburg WV we got some good rain but no trees down or loss of power.

Wife has to work today otherwise I'd have gotten with you for a ride.  As it was I only had time for about an hour on the road.

If there was any justice in the world, a hurricane or some other natural disaster would completely destroy the District of Criminals  rolleyes

It wouldn't take much of a flood to back up the storm sewers and reestablish the historic malaria infested swamp

The fed.gov would act just like katrina.  All those inner city denizens on the government dole would be saved and recycled either elsewhere or back to ground zero.  The government would waste untold billions on a rebuild of the city.  DC is so littered with monuments and memorials...that could get spendy real fast to replace.

And DC is high enough that it wouldn't stay flooded long.  Unlike NoLA.....which really is one category 4 or 5 from being the world's largest toxic bathtub.
