So now I feel little bad...

I signed up to get DC alerts emailed to me, so Friday afternoon a message pops up in my mailbox that says:

The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for the entire metropolitan D.C. area... Rainfall totals through Saturday are expected to average 2-4 inches across the area; however, local amounts could be higher.

My response to this (in an email to R.) was:

Yeah, 4" of rain totally sounds like a flood to me... better get started on the Ark!

Well... last night I began to be concerned about the amount of rainwater that was accumulating in my area and told my sister that I hoped my new apartment would not flood (since I am on ground level with no basement beneath me). Then, I recieve a call this morning around 5:00... R.'s house is flooded! It's a good thing she is not superstitious, otherwise she might think I jinxed her. All things considered, I suppose my email was not the most brilliant thing to have written at such a time. Here's to better forethought next time.
