Floods and overflowing rivers: The aftermath of DC-area rain

The D.C. area experienced a ton of rain this week — and now residents are seeing the aftereffects.

On a normal day, the Fredericksburg City Dock gets you on the water. Thursday, much of it is underwater with the Rappahannock River way over its banks.

Minister Victoria Wright with Arm of the Lord Ministries and her friend were at the dock Wednesday, sitting on a bench, which is now nowhere to be seen.

“I’ve been here every day this week, and I’m just amazed,” she said, describing the water as, usually, beautiful and blue.
