Vehicles plow through backed-up rainwater on Main Street in Mathews in the late afternoon last Wednesday, Feb. 24, after a downpour overwhelmed the runoff system.

Deb Buchanan, volunteer observer for the National Weather Service, measured 1.93 inches of rain in her gauge that day. Photo by Paul Verbyla
