we're soaked!

It's been raining almost non-stop for 4 straight days, and very hard rain has fallen in periods.. Buildings, houses, streets and parks all over the Washington D.C. area are damaged from all the water... Luckily our house is up on a hill so there is no damage as far as we can tell, although i did discover some water seeping in at the bottom of the wall in our basement family room. no damage to the inside wall as far as we can tell, but the carpet is moist... and it is going to rain for another day or so! This must be a new record, i have never seen it rain this much - EVER - in Washington D.C. We must have received 14" (~30cm) or so of rain since last Friday night?!

Here's a picture of some flooding right across the border of D.C., in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
