Lexington is in the path. of the storm, but since we're on the western slope of the Blue ridge Mts. the mountains will give us some protection from the winds. We could get up to 8 in of rain, however, and anything over 4 causes flooding. My house is actually too high to be directly affected, but I could get stuck there for a day or so if things get bad. And, of course, the water treatment plant fails when the water gets too high, so you need bottle water.
The last real flood was about six years ago. It's always amazing to see these little creeks become small rivers so quickly. Steven Desjardins Department of Chemistry Washington and Lee University Lexington, VA 24450 (540) 458-8873 FAX: (540) 458-8878 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
