Crazy. Parts of Alexandria received over 5+ inches

There was massive flooding in Alexandria. Worst I’ve ever seen in the 20 years I’ve lived there.

Check the Pepco outage map. It’s a rough guide to how badly an area was hit by storms, as well as showing if power is out in your immediate neighborhood.

Fun fact Robin got a date recently

The weather station says we received 1" of rain here in Mount Vernon.

If there are window Wells at any of your basement windows make sure they are cleaned out filled with about three quarters of crushed stone gravel. Also get your gutters and downspouts cleaned and make any necessary repairs. Ensure the downspouts are directed away from the house

I was awoken a very loud flash flood warning on my phone. I don't remember getting them before, must be something new the service providers are doing. Same loud blaring buzz that I recall from television in the past.

Localized alerts have been around for a while now. You've just forgotten.

Ugh great. We left town yesterday morning to visit family. I hope my house is okay. Anything I should worry about in CCDC? Power failures etc.?

Yikes‼️
Sorry to hear this.
Sucks.

Hope all your homes, basements, roofs, cars, etc are all ok. That was a crazy sh!t ton of rain.
