Floods slow the "wheels" of Government

repeat after me. Global Warming is not happening. It is not happening. There is no such thing. Even if there is, it is not our fault. Please look away from the water.

WASHINGTON - Flooding from a weekend of heavy rain shut down the Justice Department and other major federal buildings Monday and created a nightmare for commuters with washed-out roads, mud blocking the Capital Beltway and delays on the area’s rail lines.

The Internal Revenue Service headquarters, the Commerce Department and the National Archives also were closed Monday morning because of flooding, and the National Gallery of Art was closed because of weather-related problems with its steam system.

District of Columbia officials urged everyone to avoid the downtown area.

7. How far to the west does the flooding extend?

[Virginia Dare]

8. Not more than 50 miles, maybe a little less....

The worst of it is in the city and the immediate surrounding suburbs.

11. My home and family are 30 miles west.

2. And at this point, this is a bad thing how?

Frankly I wouldn't mind seeing the government put on hold for the next three years.

3. It's bad for those that have to schlep around town...

sans motorcades and escorted vehicles. Believe it or not, there are some good guys here :hi:

10. Here It Comes Again

I'm home because this godawful weather is giving me the sinus headache from hell. I'm looking outside and seeing it get dark again. Sigh... ANOTHER thunderstorm? I could've told you that from the way that my sinuses are hurting.

I wanna move to Las Vegas.

12. I believe the Earth hates us for our freedoms,

the freedom to spew toxic waste in to the atmosphere as if there was no tomorrow, and the freedom to rape the planet as if we were a swarm of locusts with another planet to move to when this one is barren.
