Major, serious flooding in Virginia today.
Heavy rain forces evacuations in Va. - Yahoo! News:
RICHMOND, Va. - Up to 9 inches of rain soaked parts of Virginia, forcing the evacuation Saturday about 100 people in a six-block section of this capital city and causing scattered flooding in the southeastern part of the state.
Nine inches of rain in a roughly 24 hour period is surreal.
Indonesia has been taking it on the chin from the tsunamis, H5N1, and volcanos.
The latest pony to strut into island's apocalyptic parade of disasters is a mud geyser/leak of epic proportions.
Oh, and the mud is coming up with toxic chemical.
So much of the mud has come up since this problem started, that there are now 8 villages buried in muck. A highway and train track have been cut off.
New Indonesia Calamity: A Man-Made Mud Bath - New York Times:
It started as a natural gas well. It has become geysers of mud and water, and in a country plagued by earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis another calamity in the making, though this one is largely man-made.
Indonesia has become a State of Disasters.
