H2O

Thats because MD is so tiny it doesn't need 2 like VA. Get a bigger state to be like the big boy states.

At least most of the stuff you work with HAD coordinates. Old plats and deeds I worked on only gave descriptions like: From the stump by old man Miller's barn go northerly 100 rods to the rock. then go northeasterly 50 chains to the cedar post next to Ichabod Crane's headstone, thence southerly 85 cubits to the middle of the crick in Johnston's potato field, then westerly 400 paces to the point of beginning. If I even had NAD27 I cried tears of happiness.

Knew you’d jump in on this.

If it was the Commanders defense he’s have 4’ of water

A lot of entities still use 29. Just as some use NAD27 for state plane and not 83. But those will be obsolete soon too. Nerds and their GPS keep refining the earth geoid.

How dare you hate on NAVD29!!!!! I set so many benchmarks off monumentation that was NAD29!!!

approaching 2" rain

power flickered a few times here

Yeah, winds are getting nuts here now.

Sorry but my fave place down that way is Bumpass Temp 55.5 and climbing

That is a hell of a blob of rain headed this way

over 1"

Dumping rains and wind

Rain is more sideway and smacking the windows. Trees and background sounds are louder. Temps still going up. Was at 43 at 11am, now 50 at 2pm

The county built a levee from telegraph to Rt 1 to protect that neighborhood. After some of those awful rains and floods they took a park property that was once a Fx Water maint site(and old well site for an old water company) and build up a berm.

Mom always lied to us. She said the tooth fairy was real. And Santa Claus. The only thing I can trust her with now is to make those goddamn delicious yams for thanksgiving

Woodburn, Prosperity, Hunter Mill next

My kid just texted that Fx Co schools canceling evening activities

My take as a parent: There are a TON of late bus, after school activities, etc. Yes, they could have just canceled those things instead of early release but maybe its easier for them to get things prepped for any bad weather when the schools are empty.

Vet day storm 87 we got out early and the bus driver didn't even want to touch the street into my hood. Dumped us off on Rt 236 and said hoof it. I don't blame her. She would have gotten stuck 100%. So we walked uphill and downhill about half a mile in dumping snow. It was one of the most fun memories I'll ever have. Just last weekend they canceled activities at FCPS facilities on Saturday due to the threat that was p much all rain. That one irked me simply because i saw the models showing rain. Knew it would rain. Having said that, I get why schools are more cautious these days. There are more kids, more roads, more cars. You have bus drivers that will have to deal with traffic and possible trees, power lines. If they want to keep kids, drivers, teachers, staff safe and out of POSSIBLE bad weather then I'm all for it. We've had horrible storms in summer come thru and crush certain areas with winds similar to what's being forecast. Places closer to water will get hit. And its only a couple hours. I will always rather have my kids home safe when the worst hits than worrying about them getting home or having to go get them when its shitty.
