Despite truly abysmal weather - hydroplaning at 40 mph is disconcerting - I made it to and from rehearsal. *whew*

Thanks for the note. I started getting worried when I started hearing the heavy, heavy rain outside...

'Twas impressive. And this morning's news said there's a flash-flood warning for Baltimore today (though I don't remember what time it expires). The deepest water I encountered was on US-1, where it was a couple inches deep and I didn't see it far enough in advance to do anything about it so I hit it at speed (car unhappy but did keep straight). Some pretty low-visibility sections on I-95. A mess.

I wasn't worried, exactly, but Didn't like what I kept getting on the weather screen. Hope roof roofed properly.

Roof roofed rooflessly. Two leaks this time, one putting an impressive amount of water in the trash can positioned under it (yah, where it leaked last time we got a really heavy rain and I'd been watching since but the thunderstorms kept missing my block...) and one where there was nothing to catch it, a new one. :-( And I didn't notice this until this afternoon, but the towel under the trash can is discolored, suggesting that not all the water from the first leak landed in the trash can. Feh. :-( At least nothing dripped on the piano. But I'm not terribly thrilled with the re-roofing job of last summer. I wonder how much rain will land here while I'm off at Pennsic.

One should only hydroplane with a vehicle designed for aquatic locomotion.

Of course, unexpected change of conditions may inflict a hydroplanality on the vehicularist quite unsuspecting. Hazardous situation, that.
