State of Emergency

As of last night, our governor declared Richmond in a state of emergency due to the rain of tropical storm Ida sitting and spinning over the city. This means they are continuing to watch the water levels because they have had serious flooding problems in the past. In addition, they are preparing some evacuation plans for low-lying areas.

Right now the state of emergency is scheduled to be in place until Sunday. What this means for the marathon is unknown. From the forecasts I've seen lately it is supposed to dry up by Saturday so I'm really hoping it can still happen. I'd be greatly disappointed if I trained this long to get shut out due to a tropical storm.
