DCist reader Danielle Lucey sends in this image of a kid trying to maneuver his bike along the flooded sidewalks around the Tidal Basin after this weekend’s mighty storms. Says Danielle: “Figured it shows how much it rained over the weekend!” Very true, although a minor cycling detour is hardly the extent of the issues caused by this weekend’s heavy precipitation, as you can see from the next images in the gallery of the currently underwater Washington Harbour in Georgetown.

Laura Keivel, who passed along the images from the Harbour this morning, tells DCist that there’s “heavy damage to Tony and Joe’s, Farmers and Fishers, Cabanas, and Sequoia, as well as the large fountain.”

“It appeared that two of the flood gates broke possibly early this morning,” said Keivel. “I went downstairs to get the mail, and you can hear the water pouring in the elevators.”

UPDATE: We’re now hearing that at least one building around the Harbour is being evacuated and cars are being towed out of a nearby parking lot that’s been flooded, due to a collapsed levee.

The consequences of Saturday’s raging storms also included two tornadoes and seven deaths in Virginia, plus an “unusual event” which shut down the reactors at Surry Nuclear Power Station in the southeastern part of the state. Meanwhile, thanks to rising water in the Potomac, 24 Boy Scouts had to be rescued from a campsite in Montgomery County, while several others had to be saved from regional waterways over the weekend.

Of course, not that warnings about any of this are worth interrupting Saturday evening’s Jeopardy! for.
