A Little Rain?

We definitely got a little rain. A little too much! The county we live in is listed by the Governor as a "disaster" area. Fortunately, we faired well. The rain started Friday during the day and by Saturday morning at 3:00am, Chief was putting together the 15 gallon Shopvac. We have a foundation that is roughly 100 years old. Needless to say it leaks. Thank God the sump pump works and thank God we did not lose power or we would have had some problems. The good ole Shopvac sucked up over 60 gallons of water over 3 days!

Here are some pictures of the pond that over flowed near our neighborhood.

This kid is walking/balancing on the railing of the bridge. See the other kids in the background?

This is where the pond flooded across the street. Since the street was closed, kids had a blast riding their bikes through the water.

The pond's bank is actually behind the trees in the middle of the picture.

I am again thankful that we were able to come out of this with just a damp basement. I feel really sorry for the people who are not as lucky as us. We will try to stay high and dry for a while.
