SOME PARTS OF VIRGINIA GET HAMMERED BY STORM

Over the last few days here in Va some areas to the west of have received over 10 inches of rain and to the east of us here in CH they have received 5-10 inches of rain. Here in CH we have only received about 1-2 inches which we really needed but here in CH we haven't seen the type of flooding that most of the areas to the east and west of us have, the James River is going to be well over flood stage by tonight and into thursday because of all the rain in the Roanoke area. Down on the Outer Banks there was some pretty bad beach erosion yesterday that you can see in the photo I posted from down there. The storm now has moved well north of us now so the sun will be back out in full force today. The CH Appomattox baseball team will be back in action tonight at Deep Run High School at 6pm, that's if the field playable tonight because of all the rain. Andrew spent the night here in CH last night and yes I do have him walking a straight line now, I think he spent most of last night keeping a baseball scoresheet of the Yankees and Braves game. I don't know about there rest of yall but this week seems to be flying by to me. MICKEY
