Any  listers at VTR that took in the dinner cruise to "Shockhow  Bottom"
(?),
well "Hurricane Gaston" took it  all out, on the T/V  news just now they
showed
3 cars piled up on top of each other and the  the remains of most of the old
buildings, the parking lots had cars covered  with water, quite a tragedy.

That's amazing to me considering  how far inland they are.






We heard from a friend who lives in Short Pump, VA (Richmond suburb a  little 
farther out than the VTR host hotel) - she said they got 4-6 inches of  rain 
out there but downtown got 14 inches.
I don't know how far apart they are, but Shockoe Slip (VTR restaurant  
caravan destination) and Shockoe Bottom are not the same place.
elevation (or lack of it) + big rain + proximity to river = big  flood
