When Gaston dumped those 14 inces of rain in Richmond it caused a 10 foot wall of water to blow through Shockoe Bottom, wreaking devastation in the historic restaurant/warehouse district. I checked with my customer in Richmond today to see if the Tobacco Company was saved. It was, being actually a little uphill from the Bottom, on the Slip.
Whew. For a minute there I thought an indignant God had summoned his own tidal wave to cleanse the bathroom wrecked by the Brown Tsunami.
