It's still raining

Day one: It's a warm rainy day. Not too bad.

Day two: The worst of it is rolling through today. Winds of 70miles per hour. Our neighbor's tree fell down in our driveway. Thank goodness the Exploder is in the shop or the tree would have fallen on Will's car because the truck is usually parked in front of Will's car. We lost power for almost 2 hours early in the afternoon and then again at 6:00 PM. It's a good thing I have a million candljavascript:void(0)es. Our entire first floor was fully lit. Will and I finally went to bed at 10:30 and the lights still weren't on yet. (I was bitter that I missed my favorite TV show, Project Runway. Hopefully I can catch it on a rerun.)

Day three: We woke up without power and it's still raining! The lake behind our house is dangerously high on the opposite side from our house. We got our power back on at noon. I drove Sophia all the way to school only to discover that they didn't have power either so they were closed today. In the process we must have gone through a foot of water and past at least 5 houses that got flooded and were sitting in water. It's really flat here.

Will took these photos this afternoon.

eWOW! It is just as bad down there as the news says it is! Too bad no respite at school for Sophia!

I'm so glad you are on the side of the lake you're on!!!!
