Mountain Mud Slides and Wild Winds...

US 250 East of Waynesboro Damaged by Storm

The News Virginian [click to read] has the story and a photo of the right lane that has slid away. Yesterday I went over the mountain to Crozet and took I64 East and 250 to return. I also noticed a few new rocks caught in the chain link slide-catchers on interstate 64. ht/SWAC Girl.

Sign
On the East side of Rockfish Gap Virginia route 6 begins. Here the sign shop used a US highway blank making it look like the great coast to coast highway passes by Waynesboro.

In the White Mountains of New Hampshire, a 231 mph Wind Registered on Mount Washington [click to read] was just beated by a 253 mph wind registered in Australia. Mount Washington's record had stood since April 2, 1934.

Nature remains incomprehensibly powerful. Reports of our ability to change the course of nature seem greatly exaggerated.
