Headed into the office at around 2:00, just as the band currently in DC/Arlington started forming over Burke and just west. Poured for 10 minutes or so, but that's pretty much been it around here. And I say it again: Good. You can have my (and yoda's) heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My basement only gets water in mechanical failures, so as long as my plumbing, water heater, and whole-house humidifer are in working order, bring on the flood!
