Awful big squall!!! It's still raining, still gusting to about 35 and won't be outta here until sometime tomorrow. It still goes down into the Carolinas, past Lake Erie, and out into Ohio or further. The ground is like mush from the rain, and it's still raining, though not at yesterday's pace. Back in 1972, as I was returning to Newport News about two weeks after Agnes, we had a huge oak come down right in front of us on US17. Ground was still wet two weeks afterwards and tress were coming down with no wind....
 
We got about 8-9" of rain, some wind, and without power for 22 hours. All the usual trees fell down in the usual places, on MD 424!
 
Monday night, in another county about 50 miles from me, there was one casualty attributed to the storm, a tree came down right in front of a man. They said the poor guy didn't even have time to slow down.
 
I suppose it's what you are used to Don. Every fall the first good wet snow takes down trees and power lines. Everything goes black for a few hours or days. No big deal. A good summer storm rolls through and it's the same thing. In spring th3e ice backs up good every few years and half a dozen towns flood. No one cares because we're just hicks in the sticks. You deal with it.
