Tropical Storm Hanna (formerly known as Hurricane Hanna) is kicking our butts here in Northern Virginia !!
No pictures ... I refuse to go outside in this rain.
I have been watching the news reports all morning ... Weather Bug is reporting almost 5 inches has fallen this morning (from the reporting system at a school just about a mile away from where I live).
1:30p.m. EDT:WeatherBug Tracking Station in Manassas, Va. has recorded 6.34 inches of rain so far today.
I am definitely cursing the contractor who did some work at my house a few months ago ... areas that he "supposedly" fixed, have sprung a few leaks ... and of course, he isn't answering his phone !! Small claims court just might be hearing from me if he continues to avoid my calls.
UPDATE: 9.46 inches of rain has fallen so far in Manassas (which is not far from here) - it's now 2:30 - check out how much they were reporting at 1:30 !! ALMOST 10 inches PEOPLE - 10 inches !! I am so ready for this to be over ...
ANOTHER UPDATE: I just realized that there hasn't been any traffic on Route 1 for the last couple of hours ... this just might be the reason why !

Oh man, sounds like things are really not good at all! Hopefully there isn't much damage and Hurricane Hanna will be a thing of the past before you know it. The in-laws in NC are having a (not so) good time as well, lots of wind and rain (but no damage I think, luckily).
Where's the leak in your house?
And um, you think it'll be all clear by Wednesday? I HOPE!?
Yup it was a lot of rain wasn't it? Beautiful here in DC today hope it is in Virgina too.
