Flash Flood Warning

It’s been raining heavily the last two days. Part of the Beltway is shut down due to a mudslide. The Orange Metro Line is closed. Many roads are blocked. There has been a few outages and random basement flooding in homes. Luckily, my basement is spared. The loud thunder scares the kids, ha.ha (and even me, hehe). For the next several days, there’ll be more rain coming, more flash flood warnings. What concerns me is the stormwater surface runoff. Right now, the Anacostia River does not smell very pleasant. You can expect a large quantity of pollutant on the waterways after this week's t-storms.

Off on a tangent: Portugal beats Holland -- one to nil! My guesstimate is that they'll go all the way to beat England and go to the semi-finals. Portugal will contend either against Ghana/Germany/Brazil/or Argentina -- they all have really good talents. Boy oh boy!! It's so hard to predict. I hope there won't be any power outages during the game. That would be uncool.
