Last spring, when we were in south Florida, a 24-hour rainstorm dumped 25” on Ft. Lauderdale. It was a year’s worth of rain in one day! The airport was closed as were many roads and highways.

We were on a boat so it didn’t matter for us but the poor folks ashore were soaked!

Best wishes to everyone in NoVa!
