One of those little pud storm systems on the earlier map grew into T.S. Gaston, whose remains have, as you've probably heard by now, inundated part of the sotuheast, in NC and VA. Richmond VA got it especially bad, I-95 and I-64, the two main highway arteries through Richmond both closed by floodwater, along with the whole downtown area (Shockoe Bottom for those who know) under water in depths ranging from 2 to 8 to 12 feet. It's a total mess. And NOW we have about a week before Frances gets here. This is going to be an interesting Labor Day weekend. My parents made it through just fine though, so that's cool.
