No sun here today. Have been socked in with periods of light rain and mist all morning. Some more appreciable showers moving in for the afternoon. 59°.
Forecasts for the main stem rivers in this area have now been upgraded from minor to moderate flooding, and with a longer duration, per the NWS update at 9:30 this evening.
Georges Creek which runs from Savage Mountain south to the Potomac at Westernport took out roads and bridges in towns like Barton and Lonaconing. Folks who live on the hillsides above those bridges are cut off with no way out except on foot. Tough for older folks.
That stuff rotating north through Virginia looks like it’s taking aim on the areas of western MD that are already flooding. If it holds together it’s gonna get very serious there overnight.
1.75” here so far and still raining.
I’ll be attending the series finale in Fenway a week from Sunday. Was hoping the rotation would stay on turn and Sugano would have that game. Tomorrow’s doubleheader is sure to mess that up.
I attended that game in NY last June when the Orioles won 17-5. Yankee fans’ tears were delicious. Had no idea then that would be the peak for this group.
Since that game, the Orioles are 53-66 (.445) and 11-21-5 in series play.
In that same time, after a win the O’s are 19-34 with a .317 OBP and a 5.42 ERA.
The 8 extra base hits that Kremer allowed were the most ever by a starting pitcher in team history. That’s amazing.
The starters ERA is now 6.22 for the season.
