Apocalyptic weather

Ye cats! What a day yesterday was! And the aftermath hasn't exactly been a picnic, either.

The storms, with high winds and blinding rain, pounded the region well into the night and might have spawned small tornadoes in Falls Church; in Fairfax County; near Stafford, Va.; near Bel Alton, in Charles County; and near the Anne Arundel-Calvert county line. National Weather Service experts planned to survey damage and investigate tornado reports today.
That doesn't even BEGIN to describe the torrential, hurricane-like rainfall we got yesterday. It was a SHOW!

And today? It's sunny and beautiful...but you really don't want to be anywhere near this area for the next few days. It took just about 3 hours for me to get to work this morning. Traffic was MESSED UP. My evening commute should be equally jolly.

No matter mankind's advances in every technological aspect, we are and probably always will be at the mercy of the weather. Sucks, doesn't it?
