Frankenstorm ,after

Having spent yesterday at home, languishing without work (not true -- more on that later) I went back out today to get some after-storm photos. The flood peak of the Monocacy was supposed to be sometime Tuesday, so the flooding here is not at its peak. Still, quite a contrast to the "before" pictures.

This is the southwest view from the 355 bridge over the Monocacy Wednesday afternoon. The river is clearly well out of its banks, even 24 hours after flood peak.

 Same here, with a focus more toward the south (from this perspective, left bank).

 Now looking northeast along the right bank. Hard to see, but the river is well out of its banks on this side, as well.

 Looking northeast, trees under water.

 Wider angle view, same perspective.

Looking down while facing northeast, trees underwater. Usually, you can wade across the river here in less than knee-deep water. Even well after flood stage, not today.

What does all this mean to contract attorneys? The job I would have started Monday didn't materialize. Now, it starts this coming Monday. While doing next to nothing in my area (I seriously don't give a fuck about New York), this storm cost me about two grand. Sucks to be paid by the hour.
