This one is a monster and it's heading straight for the Carolinas. I hope everybody evacuates when they are told. This thing is going to flood everything south of D.C.

We're expecting up to 7" of rain in northern Montgomery County, MD. I heard certain places in North Carolina could get 30-40" of rain.

I've read that the ground is soaked already so it can't be absorbed. There will be some serious flooding. 30 - 40" is a catastrophe.
Meanwhile Trump has been spouting a crapton of lies about Puerto Rico and Hurricane Maria. Cohn was right, Donald Trump is "a fucking liar".

All the rivers around here are already out of their banks. Old Town Alexandria and downtown Frederick, MD are already flooded.

I hope they haven't started rebuilding Ellicott City already. Maybe they should move it to higher ground?

A lot of Ellicott City is one high ground, but the old town (an old mill town, I think) is down in a valley with a creek running right through it. I'm not sure if they'll ever fully rebuild after the two floods they experienced in the past two years. Too bad. The old town was quite attractive and full of restaurants, bars and breweries.

I remember putting a new roof on one of those old Victorians in Ellicott City way back in the day. Pretty cool architecture. We've got a few of those out here. I loved working on them.
