When the rain comes ...

It has been raining all day and is expected to rain all night as well. Every street is flooded and creeks are overflowing their banks. My mom called a while ago and the only place they don't have water in the house is the living room. There have been tornado watches (not warnings, watches) and the electricity has flickered on and off all day. I'm getting tired of resetting alarm clocks. Ya'll might wanna think about sending in life jackets and life rafts. I'm gonna brave the woods with my trusty axe and start building the ark ... I'm sure we'll need it soon. Don't believe me? Here is photographic evidence. Yeah it doesn't look that bad but consider this ... we are on the HIGH ground. HELP!

For a minute there I thought you lived in Houston... It is flooded like that here too. ugh

Gotta love the wonderful southern wet falls.

aha, BUT you can toss the soon-to-be ex out into it and afterwards, just shrug and look innocent!

wow! i sure hope the rain stops soon!

Wow! If anyone can brave it out, you can...
my best to your Mom, how scarey!

One raft coming your way. You get to choose who goes into it.

;)

Yep, I had to strap an outboard boat motor to my pickup so that I could get to work this morning.

Looks kinda scary! Remember if you need to build an ark you need two of each and I'm a great female speciment! LOL

I thought they were snowflakes at first when I saw your shots on Flickr. Everything looks blue. Did you saturate them or is everything really that blue hued?

Save yourself ... we're flooded too! You did miss the huddled masses on the first floor at work since we were not allowed upstairs for two hours. I wasn't even allowed to save the chocolate!

Flood plain? Looks like a plain ol' flood to me.
Best of luck!
