We are having big thunderstorms here, just north of DC.

We are maybe 15 miles north of the Mall.

It is very dark and just pouring rain. This is the third round of downpours.

NWS has a flooding alert for the entire region. According to radar, no rain in DC yet. About 2 inches is possible through the entire region. The alert goes to 8 pm.

I don't think Trump is going to have a good day. Maybe God doesn't like you after all, eh Trump?

so we're getting used to it. It would be very appropriate if the worst hit on Trump's tribute to narcissism.

I do feel sorry (not because of the weather) for all the families and individuals who love to face the traffic and go downtown every year.

Only rain so far this day. Sky isn't particularly dark at the moment.
