Which is why I made my earlier mistake. Camille is still frequently talked about around where I live and I don't have to go very far to get to the area that was devastated.

This part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, for geological reasons, is particularly susceptible to debris flow--or what most people call landslides. Enough rain can literally remove the face of the mountains.

We had a good soaking last week. The worst case would be to be hit with Ivan from the south and/or west and with Jeanne from the south and/or east.

Hey independentmind, what part of VA do you live in? I grew up near Amherst, about 30 miles south of where Camille did her dirty work.
