Rain, Rain, Go Away


Rain has been the name of the game pretty much every minute, of every day, starting this past Sunday.  So much so, that heavy flooding hit the area yesterday afternoon, actually causing Fairfax County to close their schools today.  I can't even believe it; I heard that the place shuts down when it flurries, but a RAIN DAY?!   Craziness.    

Seriously though.  Here are some photos residents took on their commute home yesterday:
This is actually a road (Rt. 50) that I was supposed to take when driving Wes to the airport from my school in Fairfax, yesterday evening.  Luckily, by the time we were on the highway heading towards the main road, they had closed access.  
Another shot of Route 50.

Red Car - Why on earth are you turning towards the flooded street??  


It's much worse in PA and New York's Southern Tier.  Take a look at some of these shots from The Weather Channel.
In Johnson City, New York.

Earthquakes, Tornadoes, Hurricanes and Floods.  I think we have everything covered.  We'll take the sun now, please.
