How did the system fair with all that rain yesterday?

PRTC 279 Fuller Heights Line
PRTC 197 F/S Metro
WMATA 2622 7F
WMATA 2593 23A
WMATA 2524 25B (The bus operator hit something while leaving Landmark mall earlier and he didn't even check the front of the bus (Orion VII OG CNG). Startled me for a moment lol)
PRTC 197 F/S Metro.

Also, its been a while since I fanned Metrobus because of college finals and the NY Auto show, but was #2616 always an express bus? I honestly can't remember. One more point, it seems that Metro is removing the middle tracks at Regan National for some reason.

Forgot to mention that I saw an Fairfax Connector RTS in Ballston yesterday(possible the DMV Museum bus).
