"Mudslides" and "Alexandria, VA" are two things you don't often see put together. It probably happened because of all the construction in the area associated with the Wilson Bridge project.
Heavy storms caused flooding and downed trees and power lines in the Washington, D.C. area, Monday, June 26, 2006, including this large oak tree that fell at President Bush's doorstep in front of the White House. Heavy winds and rains knocked the large tree down overnight. (AP Photo/Ron Edmonds)

I saw news video this morning of cars up to their windows in water on "Maryland's Eastern Shore". Anybody know exactly where that was?

Sorry to see the elm bite it at the WH.
I thought one of our local TV talking heads was gonna cry announcing the tree, planted during the era of Teddy Roosevelt.
I wonder if it made any noise when it fell. (Probably said, "Progressive".)
Prayers and best wishes to all those in the mess and thanks for posting..
pics follow :-)

We finally got hit in SE Pa. Had only 1/2" rain all weekend in my small town. Rain Gauge hit 3" overnight. Some areas only 10 miles away had over 5" just this weekend.

I hope they use that tree for something other than firewood. It would be cool to make some woodcraft out of it an sell. Although, I guess that tree does belong to all of us. Someone tell Rove that I'd like an nice Oak Cane made out of it.

I was driving back from North Carolina last night and the Beltway was partially closed for a long time because of high waters and a special crew had to pump the water out.
Bottom line, do not go anywhere in the region until it stops raining in a couple of days.

Thanks for the ping.
All that fresh water is not going to be good for the clam beds.
