PSA: if you see standing water, don't try wading it. It's not worth it.

The DC area got slammed with several inches of rain in just a couple of hours (highest estimates are 5.1 inches). Several roads are closed, some are flooded (like the above). Don't take your chances, if you see standing or running water, stop (or turn around if safe to do so). Flash Flood Warning in effect until 1:45pm EST here.

I apologize in advance, but I now have to make a joke about 'draining the swamp' in Washington DC.

Ok, I'll say it. Maryland drivers.

Was driving back home during some steady rain last night. Only the MD drivers thought it prudent to speed in the rain.

As a maryland driver, I honestly don't understand how stupid many of us are. I really wish more people took drivers ed and took it seriously

It's lightened up a lot in Alexandria.

Ditto. My courtyard is no longer a raging river. I imagine the river overflowed its banks in Old Town. Is your part of Alexandria flooded?
