Today, I was chatting with my sister on my way to work and ended up driving the wrong way - and it took me forever to get to a turn around to go in the right direction.  Traffic seemed to be backed up for miles.  My other sister called and said the reason was because there were three separate traffic accidents on that stretch of road.  One was serious where a car had over turned.  So, I'm headed back in the right direction and almost got to the major highway when traffic slowed to a crawl.  Ugh.  See a construction truck up ahead with cones and am wondering why on earth they'd be doing road work on such a rainy day.  Turns out, it was seriously flooded.  So, as I'm winding around and turning onto the highway, I see a car submerged up to its roof practically...whoa.  That must of been a terrible surprise in the early hours of the morning.  That's why I don't like driving in too early , visibility is so poor.  Well I am closing in on DC when my boss calls and says to turn around and go home.  Apparently, it had flooded to such a state around our office building there was no way to enter it without stepping in knee deep water.  Yuk.  So, I turned around and went grocery shopping and to the eye doctors, and managed to get a couple other errands done.  I will study, too. 

No complaints about the rain though, we needed it.  Work will be there on Monday for us and then some, but at least we'll be safe.

  Hi Lynne,
  Conditions sound pretty bad ... I hope nobody was injured.  And congrats on getting a surprise day off!
  Best,
