Literally. After the sky unleashed more than seven inches of cold, winter rain on the Rockbridge area Monday, there was little more for residents to do except watch the flood waters rise.
Again, literally.
Luckily the Maury River and its tributaries receded relatively quickly - the water levels are high but manageable on this lovely Thursday afternoon. But the troubles for the W&L student who was arrested after an 18-month drug trafficking investigation by local police may not end so quickly...stay tuned to the Rockbridge Report for continuing coverage.
And don't forget to keep an eye out on what those proposed state budget cuts mean for area law enforcement, schools and transportation officials. We've got a new governor in office who's promised not to raise taxes - but are we really ready to watch our area lose more than $1.3 million in state funding for law enforcement and school programs?
Speaking of which, congratulations to those of you who were able to get your hands on tickets for Waddell Elementary School students' rendition of "Oklahoma!" Tickets for both nights of the musical are no longer available.
Whew. What a week! Our community may seem quiet during this cold January in the Shenandoah Valley, but don't mistake that winter stillness for hibernation - there's enough news around here to overflow the Maury, and I pledge that even when the Rockbridge Report doesn't have it first, we'll deliver it best.
