This is getting more like the weather channel than a model railroad site, but I suspect many of you are wondering how we fared in the wake of Hurricane Ida 2021. Turns out we very were lucky as the main rain bands passed about 2 miles north of us. This high resolution map showing total accumulated rain in the past 24 hours shows how the heavy rain just missed us in Alexandria. We received less than 2 inches total rain spaced out over several hours.
I am pleased to report no flooding in our basement. My sympathies to those that have flooded. We know how devastating it can be.
Last week I presented a clinic via Zoom to the Potomac Division of the NMRA with an update on the Aquia Line. Readers of the blog know all about this, but they will post the video on line at some point in case you want to hear my same old bad jokes.
I am scheduled to do another Zoom clinic for the NMRA Louisville Division on 18 September.
