Forecasts for the main stem rivers in this area have now been upgraded from minor to moderate flooding, and with a longer duration, per the NWS update at 9:30 this evening.
Georges Creek which runs from Savage Mountain south to the Potomac at Westernport took out roads and bridges in towns like Barton and Lonaconing. Folks who live on the hillsides above those bridges are cut off with no way out except on foot. Tough for older folks.
That stuff rotating north through Virginia looks like it’s taking aim on the areas of western MD that are already flooding. If it holds together it’s gonna get very serious there overnight.
1.75” here so far and still raining.
I’ll be attending the series finale in Fenway a week from Sunday. Was hoping the rotation would stay on turn and Sugano would have that game. Tomorrow’s doubleheader is sure to mess that up.
I attended that game in NY last June when the Orioles won 17-5. Yankee fans’ tears were delicious. Had no idea then that would be the peak for this group.
Since that game, the Orioles are 53-66 (.445) and 11-21-5 in series play.
In that same time, after a win the O’s are 19-34 with a .317 OBP and a 5.42 ERA.
The 8 extra base hits that Kremer allowed were the most ever by a starting pitcher in team history. That’s amazing.
The starters ERA is now 6.22 for the season.
Yes, Berryville is about 25 miles west of me, just south of Berkeley Springs High School.
Walked my property and found large tree branches down everywhere across my 4 acres. The whole time I was outside I could hear sirens coming from different directions. Rare to hear that out here in the sticks.
A large tree is down on I-81 near me and a trampoline landed in the highway also lol
Reports on Facebook around my immediate area include power poles snapped in half, trees blocking rural roads, fences blown down, and an unconfirmed report of a roof torn off of a building in Hedgesville.
