Rain, rain

Latest gage information from the Potomac River near Little Falls. Looking out my window at Rock Creek this morning, I can see the water is way up, moving fast, and the color of teh tarik.

DC (and many other surrounding municipalities) are under flood warnings this morning as a result. The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang is impressed by it all.

(Fortunately Saturday's field trip happened to be scheduled between downpours.)
