More rain = more mosquitoes = higher incidence of disease. Empty that standing water in your yard: buckets, cans, bottles, tires and anything that can hold a teaspoonful or more of water for 3 days.
Areas of high mosquito activity = somerset county/wicomico county/dorchester county. Better evacuate now!
