Floods (And I ain't talkin' 'bout pants!!)

Let's do a timeline. Our little babbling brook last summer:


Our torrential river this morning:






Our power went out last night. When we woke up we saw this outside our bedroom window:




Those cables on the ground are power lines. Yikes!

AHHHH!!!! Oh my goodness! I would've been freaking out after seeing a raging river in my backyard!

You haven't had any floods in the house, have you?

I've lived in cities for so long now, I'd forgotten how a natural landscape responds to tons of rain. Growing up in rural east Texas, downed trees and floods were the norm. At least you don't have to worry about tornadoes too.

Ok, I have been thinking about you and hoping you weren't flooded out... scary!

Have you sandbaged yet??

BTW..your house looks so cool... I love all the trees/plants. Lucky Duck.

OH MY HECK!!!

Kidding--I just spent 10 days in Utah, and it rubbed off.

That water is freaky--stay dry!

Sheesh. That's a little crazy talk. I'm still jealous that you even have a river in your backyard, even if it's a raging one... for now.
