I'm used to rain. I grew up in Western Washington for crying out loud. What I'm not used to is rain that can flood a street in just a few hours. We had a tornado warning on Friday and then warning of some "severe" weather for the weekend. The hail and HARD, sideways rain started about 1:00 on Saturday morning, tapered off for a while, and then came back at full strength mid-morning. It made for a nice cozy day to stay inside, take an extra family nap, and just relax - we were very glad we didn't have anywhere we had to go!
View from the front door on a nice, sunny day.
View from the front door yesterday afternoon. No ditch, no sidewalk.
The backyard - taken through the window but you can see the river in the middle and pool in the corner.
Once the rain let up and the water had receded a bit, our neighbors were having a ball jumping into the ditches. I don't think their mother was too thrilled!
Then, mid-afternoon...a beautiful sign from God!!
And some blue sky.

Holy Texas ... I mean, Holy Hell ... I mean, that's CRAZY!
That kinda looks familiar... Sorry you had to go through a flood, too! Other parts of the country can't handle rain like the Washington!!!!
