A lot of government agencies are closed down because heavy rains in Washington DC.




Do you think anybody cares or will even notice?:p







(Intended as a tongue-in-cheek humorous thread.;) So try and keep it that way.:=

The Acid rain will keep the White House White:}

Am I the only one to notice that Rain is an anagram of Iran?

I wonder when they'll strike back :cool:

Naw, it's the Russians that screw around with the weather.:E

Probably the North Koreans firing water bombs.

Wonder how's seacue making out? He's down in that area someplace. :uhoh:

seacue reporting in.

No problems for me. I'm on high ground well out of the center of the city. A stream on my shortest route home did overflow blocking that back road, but that happens after every strong thunderstorm.

Historical note: One of the closed govt buildings along Constitution Ave houses the Commerce Dept headquarters. When they were building it (around 1930) Tiber Creek was rediscovered underground in what became its basement. A very low part of town.

My county (Montgomery,MD) acquired almost all the stream valleys many years ago for use as parks. Thus we don't have homes built on those flooding areas.

Pissing down in Delhi too at the moment but I'm not in Delhi, I'm some twenty kms away and no sign of rain, only dark clouds for the past couple of hours :(

I want a nice thunderstorm here!

With quite a few government workers not at their desks as usual (spending our tax dollars), perhaps we've saved a coupla million of 'em today. (dollars, that is) :p

No doubt it'll take the authorities even longer to respond to it than they did over New Orleans :}

After my dad passed away going on five years ago, I was looking through his ancient LP records and spotted one by the American comic Bill Cosby (made in the 60s, long before he was famous). In one of the bits, Cosby is imitating a radio on which someone is spinning the dial. A line that's stuck with me ever since is "There will be no weather in Washington today," which pretty much sums up what I think each time I pick up a newspaper.
