Some of the models dump 12-30 inches of water right over where I live in Va.
As said before- ground here is 100% saturated. The front yard has become a permanent tractorpulling mudhole/ stream this year, ordinarily it only has water for about 2 weeks in spring. It's never been like this for so long. If this hits with any wind at all, lots of trees are coming down. They will be restoring power for weeks.

At the bottom of the mountain, 20-30 inches of water would take some roads OUT!
If the forecast holds up, these roads are gonners:
- this blurry pic shows a field which will become a river with all the water coming off the mountain in the background. There is a house down there which will be toast. The VDOT guys had some equipment down there doing their best to prep.
That field drains under this road. It will be gone too if the predictions are right...
Here is another road that catches all the water from the mountain. It gets bad flash flooding with several inches. Should be a washout.
