>
>Richmond was hit with heavy rains from the remnants of Tropical Storm
>Gaston. There was a bulleye of 11 inch rainfall (Dopller Indicated) over
>Richmond. By evening, multiple roads were closed including parts of I-95
>and 64. Many areas are without power. According to news reports, patrons
>of Bottoms Up Pizza had to flee to the second floor and they watched their
>cars float away in 10 to 12 feet of rushing water. The bar district was
>extensively flooded. One station showed video of apartment dwellers being
>rescued through holes in the roof as the first floor was covered in water.
>My video is not as dramatic. Below are a couple of stills.
>
>Flooding across Grove Avenue. (I had already tried to return home via
>Monument Ave and it was blocked by water.) The car next to the red car is
>stalled and the occupant trapped. This is a still from my video that The
>Weather Channel used.

>stopped and I can quit changing the towels :(
