Enough is enough--don't you think?

Between last night and today--the Baltimore area has gotten about 8" of rain.
It has poured! It has sprinkled! There have been absolute deluges! And--believe it or not--
periods of NO rain.

Roads and the Inner harbor are flooded. When High tide came (and will again at 11:30PM tonight)

Schools let out 2-3 hrs. early, playing havoc with parent's work schedules.

When I got up this morning, I was greeted by torrential rains and a huge limb that came down from
my Maple tree. A dead limb--so that was good! Been watching it for a long while.

In this picture, you can see my corner ("YUK" ) bed. See all the water dammed up against it?
Took this through my dirty LR window--so, a bit out of focus....
