2. I'm going to need an umbrella. It's raining in downtown DC now.

I brought one with me to work, so no biggie.

Hope all is well in C'ville.

3. High water in Waynesboro

It got within a few inches of the lower warehouse floor where the lighting gear is stored. River gauges show that the peak has been reached and it is going down.

Heard on radio that tornado in Midlothian killed one. Will get link when I can. Mobile right now.
