Waiting for Rain



A Hurricane is supposedly coming up from the Caribbean. It looks like it will bounce off North Carolina and South Carolina, and then grind its way up to Newport News, Virginia.

I doubt we will get much water, but the Canal keepers are vigilant, and are dumping water out of the Canal in precaution. The side gate to the creek was opened for that water to flow a few hundred yards to the river, and water was being dumped through the lock lock too. 

The white Lock House at the end of the second video was where President Grover Cleveland used to stay when he fled the White House to go up river to fish.


If you want to rent the Lock House for an overnight stay of your own, you can can do that through the US Park Service.
