Ill tell you win the last half hour the rain was sideways receipt now its still heavy rain and the ponding has subsided some but as you see these cars going through this intersection look at this truck. Going through kicking up a lot of water. This is the intersection of bethesda avenue and arlington road here in bethesda. As you see the cars go through this intersection here theres a lot of standing water. Ill tell you were hearing about a lot of accidents throughout the region really. Trees down, blocking treats. I can show you if we have it some video from where we were earlier this morning. Cringle road in northwest d. C. Basically, blocking the westbound lane of the two lane road way divided going from adams morgan to Cleveland Park threw rock creek park, and the westbound lane was closed tow people even though there were flares and signs up were going one lane and having to stop and back up because the traffic would come right into their ace. So people have been ignoring some of the warning signs telling people not to take these flooded roads or streets blocked by trees and some people are not paying attention. So basically, its that kind of morning. A steady heavy sometimes sideways rain leaving a lot of water on roads. Knocking down trees. Contributing to accidents, and from our Vantage Point here in bethesda, no end in sight, guys. Bob, how much is on the roads in some places. Reporter oh yeah. Oh yeah. Its because it lets up a little bit, so it leaves but these cars come at you i mean gist like a few minutes ago the water was splashing up over the railing there with those tree boxes. When it rains heavily it ponds and then as it, you know, subsides a little bit as it slows down bit but its just nonstop, guys. The roads are dangerous. No doubt about it yall be safe out there too bob. Thanks. 9 13. Youth soccer coach in Montgomery County is charged with sexually abusing one of his players.

Flores according to charging documents allegedly told the girl to keep quite or something bad would happen. Montgomery county police have this advice for parents. They cant talk enough and often enough its not just a onetime speech, but its a periodic conversation to have to let them know whats appro appropriate, whats inappropriate and keeping secrets from parents is never a good idea. Come talk to mom or dad, dont be afraid, and tell them the truth if they feel like they were touched inappropriately. Reporter we do not know the circumstances leading up to why now, why this girl and her parents came forward and went to Child Protective Services with these allegations. We can tell you that flores is facing one count of second offense and one count sex abuse of a minor.
