Richmond Floods

The view from the 3rd floor of our building looking into our lot
August 30, 2004 - Brooke & Rob own their home for 1 month and Tropical Storm Gaston floods their new basement (and springs 8 leaks in the roof ruining 4 ceilings Brooke has freshly painted).
August 29, 2005 - Katrina. OK, so we didn't get hit with this one, but the dates are forming a pattern for rainy disastors....
September 1, 3006 - Ernesto makes Virginia declare a "State of Emergency".
