And a 12-year old boy died in Vienna, apparently drowned in Piney Branch Creek off Lawyers Road. So so tragic. Update: Child Dies After Falling In Vienna Creek - Vienna, VA Patch

Yeah, sad. Thats the boy I spoke of in my earlier post.


This is my rain gauge that I have emptied twice since Monday. This was Wednesday afternoon before the first time I emptied it around 4PM.



I emptied it again around 10PM on Thursday night. It was overflowing again then. Here it is as it sits now as of 11:48AM Friday morning:

Probably because you were not in the path of the "training" rain.

I would not trade this for 105 and high humidity. Ick. That said, the sun is back out, and plenty of blue sky between the big puffy clouds and now its getting very hot and sticky. Prob have to close the windows and run the AC for a bit if it gets much warmer. This week, in spite of the rain, was a very nice break from summer heat. Looking forward to fall!

I hate it when things are wet. Everything is wet, the streets are wet, the sidewalks are wet, my shoes are wet, I hate getting wet. When I get home I'm taking a shower

Here are some pictures that were posted by West Springfield Little League. The water deposited the bleachers on top of a dugout.

It looks like things were just floating in the concession building.
