Rain Over Me

A night of storms and 24 hours more of it to go. 3 hail storms so far. My flowers are beat down...the dianthus looks dead. It was so pretty yesterday morning! I am surprised TJ's car has survived. I tried to sleep last night but the storms came in with such high winds even Troy scoured the skies for a tornado!

Our town is flooded. Literally. They closed down 75 north and south coming in because it was flooded. They still had school this morning. I took Bethany and drove through 3 rivers. You could see the water rushing into the storm drains and shooting back up out from under the manhole covers! There was one storm drain near the school that was shooting up like a fountain! I told Bethany to not be surprised if they had tornado drill today. We are under a tornado watch for most of this morning...and extending.

That house we put the bid in on...is just two doors down from one of the flood spots in our road. The flood runs right up the driveway of a tri-level we looked at that was for sale, too. I am wondering what their basements look like. The owners of the one we bid on counter offered and we countered right back last night with our original offer. I'll bet, if they are having water in the basement now, they will jump on our offer. I let our realtor know what is going on here. Not sure what can be done about it.

Time will tell. It has quieted down for a bit. More storms to come...lines of them heading in from Indiana. Yippee.
