Right now, there's a chance they could get drenched before it's over. There's a line of wind heded their way, with any luck, it will bring a lot of rain with it.

From the looks of things right now, it's hot, humid and buggy.

Rain was forecast, but it stopped just as the rally got started. .Sun came out.

They are covering the event; photos on their website.

As I suspected, it's white trash from top to bottom.

I was born (1944) in a crossroads, cotton-picking rural Mississippi village. I know white trash when I see it and I saw a lot of it on the Post's photo coverage of the event.

We've had huge thunderstorms this afternoon, with tornado watches in several counties. It's on the way to Washington and probably the early gusts have already arrived.

Oh hello, Mr. President ... sorry to spoil your big event!

We had a tornado warning with emergency buzzes going off on the TV and phones. I collected a few things, including the pets, and headed to the basement! We lost power, it just now was restored.

These is a nasty line of storms.
