It's Raining...

We've had a little rain in the last 24 hours... anywhere from 8-12 inches. In the ten years I've lived here, I've never seen anything like it. In fact, I'm not sure I've seen anything like this in my life. More storms are moving in, but so far no rain at the house this morning. Lots of our friends have had leaking roofs and some flooding. We were worried to go upstairs last night in fear we'd find a leak, but we've had none.

This was our street for most of the day. They are still building in our subdivision, so some of those lots higher up washed out. In the 20 minutes we were at the grocery store yesterday the road on one side of it had flooded. Later on we saw on the news where they were doing water rescues from that same Publix.


And the video below was taken on I-24 less than four miles from our house. A little scary. The building you see float down the interstate is a portable from a church.



Church was canceled this morning because more storms are moving through. I'm guessing schools will be closed tomorrow as the creeks and rivers continue to rise. I know two buildings down from us at work had some flooding, but I don't know about ours yet. Jeff walked out and checked on the garden this morning. Everything held up well and should really take off this week with so much watering!!

Jeff wants to go explore, but I think we'll hold off on that and enjoy another day inside.
