I noticed the Brunswick line is out (again? still?) - are you still working from home?

Hope everything is okay at your place, as I seem to recall it's in a fairly low-lying area...

No, I actually drove in today. Internet connection at home is still out, but otherwise we're ok - the road in front of the house has had a lot of water going down it but the house itself has stayed nice and dry. :-)

Had to drive that road along the canal near Harpers Ferry last night and that was exciting, what are normally little trickles were torrents going across the road, the canal was full, and the Potomac is definitely flooding, went back to get a few pictures this morning, but it was mostly back to normal except for the Potomac being so high.

Yikes! Well, glad to hear everything's okay for your place. Be safe!

From what I recall of where his house is, is he in the danger zone?

[kmusser]

See response above, no danger to the house - some flooding on the roads, but still passable.

I ment Ri's house ;) I figured you guys were okay given where you live :)

Oh, I think he would've mentioned it on his post if he was in the line of fire. :-)

Being kind of geographically stupid, is this something I should be worried about?

Today's plans involve local errands, a trip up to Frederick, and then from there to Columbia.

Probably not, this is closer in to DC than any of that would involve.
