It's been about two months since we had any significant rainfall (translation: more than a few hundredths of an inch) here in Northern Virginia and nearby areas. Now, The Great Flood arrives.
Over the past 24 hours, most spots around here have gotten about 2" of rain as the remnants of Tropical Storm Tammy pass overhead, and some nearby weather stations have already recorded rainfall amounts in excess of 4".
Once all is said and done tomorrow night or Sunday, we expect to get about 5" in this area, with some locations getting as much as eight or nine inches.
Hey, we wanted to break our mini-drought, but this is a little more than we were looking for. I guess it's kinda like Morton's Salt: It never rains but it pours.
Update - 10/8/2005: James Joyner has knocked off blogging for some silly reason or another. Let's just hope that he returns to his senses tomorrow and resumes regular blogging instead of doing trivial stuff like paying attention to his new bride, or going on a honeymoon or some other unserious activity. We're Joyner Junkies, and we need our regular fixes!
Congrats to you and your new wife, James. I hope you didn't have anything planned outdoors. With today's deluge, someone might drown!.
