Writing about all the big & little things

And then the rains came down… and the floods came up.

So, it’s rained a lot lately.  A.  LOT.  And last night was the night that put the streams and storm drains right over the top of what they could handle.  If you’ve been to our house, you know that our back yard bumps up to a more major street called Independence.  This morning it was no longer a street but a rushing river–completely submerged.  There was a point in the day that we were actually barricaded on our street because all the connecting streets were flooded.  Really flooded.  Tim went out mid morning and took this video….

Flooded River/Road!

Let’s just say that those cars didn’t go anywhere for quite some time…

We really don’t need any more rain.

    That is an amazing amount of rain. I can’t believe those cars tried to make it through.

    Like a rebellious child, they didn’t listen to you and did it. At least they tried. Is this the video that was shown on the news?
