Storms this weekend raged through the mid-Atlantic, and the Act of God (like another Act of God, the U.S. Constitution) left dozens dead. Still, there was a reason the Lord did this: to rid the world of Georgetown once and for all.
Laura Keivel, who passed along the images from the Harbour this morning, tells DCist that there’s “heavy damage to Tony and Joe’s, Farmers and Fishers, Cabanas, and Sequoia, as well as the large fountain.”
“It appeared that two of the flood gates broke possibly early this morning,” said Keivel. “I went downstairs to get the mail, and you can hear the water pouring in the elevators.”
There’s always a purpose. [DCist]

Tell me when the deluge reaches the capitol
It won't — that's why we're on a Hill.
If Jebus wants it to, he can do anything!
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by flushing out the cesspool.
Are there black people sitting on their roofs, and looting the Food King?
No. This is Georgetown.
Are there white people sitting on the roofs of their Beamers and looting Nordstroms?
According to the video from the local news, there were many German luxury sedans and upscale restaurants damaged or destroyed by the flood. The clip shows a particularly pitiful looking V12 Mercedes S-class being pulled from the deep.

EDIT: Looking on the bright side, destruction of that single grosser Benz is likely to reduce global warming by .0001 degree.
Don't worry, a new one is on its way.
White folk "scavenge" only the blacks "loot", pilgrim.
Isn't everything an act of god? Abortion, murder, wrongful imprisonment, muslims?
Is rain God's tears or pee? I forget.
I think a good thing to tell a kid, when he asks,"Where does rain come from?" is, "God is crying". And when he asks,"Why is God crying? tell him,"Probably something you did."

(Truthfully I think it is something Repugs have done)
Thanks. I'd forgotten that broadcast of Deep Thoughts.
They used to sacrifice children in South America, maybe if we bring that back, God will rain on Texas which is suffering through a once a 100 year drought. Maybe we should start worshiping real American gods like the creator god of the Incans, Pachamac.
Actually, that's what the preacher told my mother when my grandfather died in a hit and run crossing the street. She was fourteen. True story.
heavy damage to Tony and Joe’s, Farmers and Fishers, Cabanas, and Sequoia
Looks like God is a restaurant critic. One whose judgment I can't disagree with.
I thought God was a real estate developer.
I heard God is a Civil Engineer. Who else could of got the permits to build an amusement park next to a sewage plant??
(try the veal)
We need Arielle to compare the damaged restaurants.
LOL. I read that as Ariel, the little mermaid. And ya know, it works too.
Works with it being a Tempest and all.
How's the fishin'?
lotsa crappies.
Delicious.
Allah actually meant for it to rain on the fires in Texas but got sidetracked by watching Meet the Press.
Unedited line from "Field of Dreams"
"Are we in hell? No Texas!"
Since Perry's demanded federal help, I'm assuming that whole secession thing is off the table for another couple of months.
I can't even get up the snark for this one. Perry is such an asshole.
Barack should smack it down citing disaster relief as an unenumerated power, thus one endowed of the States, individually, & not within the Federal purview.
Barry should tell Perry to fuck off.
Have the CIA deliver federal help via armed drones.
Paging Noah! God on line two.
Looks all those students who skipped Arc Building 101, 102 and 103 are shit out of luck.
Glenn Beck said this would happened when Hillary Clinton first brought lesbianism to the State Department.
Clearly Georgetown had too many homo-communist parades celebrating the caliphate, imo.
All those catfish in the elevator shafts are going to be smelling real sweet come Thursday.
and if just one Georgetown girl goes missing, the ENTIRE news will be staring at shiny objects again…
Like the news of the North Carolina tornadoes (note to news talkers: they're only called Twisters outside the tornado belt) featuring video of a damaged house and the tragic story of family that wasn't home but shared how damaged they would have been in they had been home.
MSNBC The place for politics.
God hates predominantly rich, white & preppie college kids?
Everyone does especially when they try to rap.
Free water? This must be stopped. These people are getting away with murder. Elsewhere in the country we have to pay for water. I am sick of funding the abortions and free water for people in the capitol who are out of touch with the regular people.
Evan Almighty was actually biblical prophesy.
Did it flood the Archives? NO. See it was the Baby Jeebus flooding the snooty people in Georgetown. He didn't flood his most sacred document, the constitutshun, protecting like a conservative mother that protects the baby and the checkbook. These sacred and holy words were handed directly to the slave owner politicians in the 1400's and buried in a clay pot until Nathan Bedford Forest dug them up and translated the document.
Whaddya think about that Bitches?
I think Babby Jeebus is mad because Obamer was mean to little Paul Ryan. Made babby cry.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, the NY Post loves it: http://www.nypost.com/f/print/entertainment/movie...
Who would have ever seen that coming?
The Lord is upset that so few of the Georgetown elitists went to see His own movie, Atlas Shrugged.
How's the gang at Late Night Shots taking this?
"It appeared that two of the flood gates broke possibly early this morning"
I'm sure the Army Corps of Engineers will get right on that.
But are the escalators okay?
If Georgetown is still there tomorrow that proves that god is fake.
I blame the sodomy. Of course, I blame the sodomy for everything.
That's a lot of interrupted potential finger banging.
I call bullshit:
And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Genesis 9:11 (!!!)
See? It's right there in Genesis.
And as we all know, Genesis does what Nintendon't.
Poor little rich girl(s)…
Get back to me when God starts spanking Washington's Foggy Bottom.
Double Entendre-atcha!
Pray tell, what was the "unusual event" which shut down the reactors at Surry Nuclear Power Station? Homer Simpson back at work?
One would have thought there would have been a very good law passed to prevent such an mishap at such a hallowed (read white) location.
White people "forage"
Was that written by a Brit? Or is "Harbour" some sort of contraction of Haley Barbour?
