WASHINGTON 鈥� A light rain continues to fall across the D.C. region Monday afternoon, and flood warnings are being lifted. But damage and traffic problems remain in some parts of the area after heavy rains hit the region from Sunday night into Monday morning.
The deluge led to marooned motorists, traffic and transport woes and a busy morning for first responders.
Unofficial numbers from the National 蜜桃视频app Service found that between 1.5 and 3 inches of rain fell over various parts of the region, as rain continues in parts of the area.
