From the Desk of Former Mayor Malinda Miles

It has been two years since I decided to remove myself from the political scene in Mount Rainier, MD, Prince George's County, and the State of Maryland. Holding the lofty position of Mayor was such a great honor, but as the years flew by, I realized that it was time to do something else -- get a life.! I did, and still continue to provide resources to the residents through The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Real people pass through The Front Porch Ministries weekly. LIFE is good.

TWO STORMS HEADED OUR WAY

The National Weather Service reports they are expecting two storms through the DC area starting this evening, June 12, 2013, through tomorrow, Thursday, June 13..

The first storm is expected to reach the DC area during the evening hours and continue overnight until the early morning tomorrow (1:00-2:00). This storm has the potential to produce rainfall amounts in excess of an inch.

The second storm is expected to reach the DC area early Thursday afternoon and will clear in the evening hours. This storm is predicted to produce significantly heavier rainfall and expected accumulations of 1 to 2 inches over a relatively short period of time.

A flash flood watch is in effect for Thursday, 13 June, from 2:00.

Please be prepared for outages. Lots of batteries, flashlights, and the like. NO CANDLES or oil lamps for safety reasons.

CALL PEPCO immediately should your lights go out. Have a plug in phone ready since your portable phone may or may not work. CHARGE your cell phones NOW.

Mayor Malinda Miles

As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents. It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved. It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces. I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible. This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.
