Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott reports on the 36^th East Coast Logging & Equipment Exposition (Expo Richmond), held May 18-19 in Richmond, Virginia. If one had to sum up in a single word the 36th East Coast Logging and Equipment Exposition, held Friday, May 18 and Saturday, May 19, that one word might well be “wet.” Indeed, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the week of Expo turned out to be Richmond’s biggest rainstorm since Tropical Storm Gaston in 2004 and the city’s wettest week since 1955. The unnamed storm this year brought flash floods and a reported 10 in. of rain in some areas. In fact, with an official 3.86 inches of rainfall, that Friday was the wettest single day ever recorded in Richmond in the month of May (records date back to 1887; the previous record was set on May 20, 1889—3.22 in. then).
