The D.C. area is still soggy after heavy rains that snarled the morning commute.

As workers returned Tuesday from a three-day weekend, flash floods caused havoc in Washington and some parts of Maryland and Virginia. Authorities had to rescue motorists stranded in high water, and several roads were closed.

High winds brought down some trees, including one that fell on the George Washington Parkway and blocked southbound lanes near Roosevelt Island for a time.

Thousands of people lost power as a result of the weather, and some traffic lights were knocked out.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
