[Magdalen] Rain!

[Jay Weigel]

I was in Emporia, VA, this past weekend at a RAM clinic. I arrived on
Friday evening and was thinking of going out for a bite of supper, only to
open my door to a hellacious tropical downpour, the likes of which I hadn't
seen since my days as a travel nurse in eastern North Carolina. It lasted
only about 20 minutes or so, and there was a beautiful rainbow after. Also
a blooded intersection next to the hotel.
