'Your papers, please' must never be heard in America

Police in Fairfax County have identified three people, including a 12-year-old boy, who drowned as they were swept away in flood waters.

Washington-area officials began assessing damage Friday from torrential rains that a day earlier flooded roadways and neighborhoods in the region, killing at least three people.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Lee closed roads, schools and a commuter rail line in waterlogged Northern Virginia, and a retaining wall was brought down near a townhome complex, forcing evacuations.
