Our local weather forecast says up to 1/2 inch of rain tonight, clearing by morning to partly cloudy. I suppose they could be wrong. The only floods we have to worry about are the ones on our basement when the city storm drain backs up in it because the idiot city won't come and put in a check valve at the street.

"Nearly 560,000 customers in the District and its suburbs lost electrical power tonight as Hurricane Isabel snapped utility poles, toppled trees and tore down power lines"

Ow! That means when I lose my power, it could be for days. Shoot!
