East coast flooding

[morkus64]

Just really got bad here in the DC area yesterday... how's everyone else doing?

Oh, and just so you all know, I tried windows live local (www.local.live.com) to navigate my gf around the flooding and it worked pretty well - actually got her to work in the normal time.

Need a laugh? Check out this thread about a thunderstorm in CA. ...pansies.

I'm hoping DC isn't too bad, I need to drive to Dulles today for a long-planned vacation to Spain (first time overseas, woo).

Flight leaves at 10pm, coming up from the Shenandoah Valley, so we're leaving here around 5:45, two hour drive usually.

I think you'll be ok asa long as it doesn't rain before then... right now your path looks clear. Some delays, but not flood related, so they'll probably clear up. Course you'll be driving during rush hour, so you'll surely get new delays.

no flood here in northeast part of new jersey.

I heard something about there being a sinkhole in I 66 someplace close to Manassas. You might want to check that out and plan an alternate route if it is true.

Would have been nice if someone had told me that the metro was going to be all jacked up. L'efant metro station was a complete mess around 7AM.

I guess you guys are getting the storm we had a few days ago. that sucks, it was a really bad one.

Our basement is doing fine (knock on wood), but damn was that a lot of rain. I mean holy crap, that was a lot of rain.

Aren't we due to get more throughout the week?

probably, we're further west than you guys are and there's another storm coming tonight/tomorrow.

 

[astrosfan90]

Yeah, the Metro made me way late for work this morning. Apparently some of the stations downtown were flooded.

It's a slow moving system. Here in College Park, MD it's been raining cats and dogs for the past few days. Long Island is going to get hit big time starting Wed for almost a week.

We lost a ton of trees to a bad storm last week.

 

[pclstyle]
