little bitch of a flood

Taken from CNN

“Flooding from a weekend of heavy created a nightmare for commuters with washed-out roads, mud blocking the Capital Beltway and delays on the area’s rail lines.

The high water shut down commuter rail lines into the capital.

Metro subway service in the city was disrupted because of high water on the electrified rails downtown.

Drivers weren’t having much more luck.

Underpasses were flooded, and on the Capital Beltway, a mud slide piled five feet of debris backing up traffic. “

DAMN WHAT A DAY! I some how was able to get into work even though my usual train was shutdown. I was lucky enough that the metro line to my office was still running & hadn’t been closed. Even though it doubles my commute time it’s my only way in. I’m at work right now… it’s pouring still… getting home won’t be easy (T_____T).

   OMG I hope it will stop raining soon! And of course you’re able (or were able) to get home. The weather here has been much kinder, although we had one downpour last night the weather has been grey but somewhat dry. Goodluck ne!
