This is what happened in my town over the weekend. My daughter left to drive home literally in the nick of time and got out before the roads flooded. It isn't like these images are miles and miles from my house. Some are nearby, some a few miles away, but all in my city. We had between 11 and 15" of rain depending on your location. We were somewhere in between at our house. No flooding at my house but the end of my street and surrounding streets whoa!

Just a bit of rain
Love rain but WOW! Last night and today have been amazing. Here is photographic proof. All these were taken within a 4 block radius of our house. The end of our street was flooded but we est. long ago that ours is the highest house on the block. It's a good thing when it rains so much.
The view looking out my enclosed patio. For reference, it was taken at about 11 am. Looks like nighttime huh. I think I detect white caps on the lake.
The pond in my side yard. I'm looking out the window... no way I was going out to get this picture. See the pond?
In front of the middle school for those of you that have been to visit. To those that haven't, come on down and you'll have a point of reference!
A block down from the middle school
On the major street that connects to ours. I wouldn't have done this but the little Ford Focus made it through. Can't imagine that they had dry feet though!

Well?????
Notice the lack of question mark here today! 
I had already gotten most of my hurricane gear together but spent this afternoon fine tuning. If I need to board up, I'll do so without DH as he is travelling. Fun, fun! I'll learn how to use the electric screwdriver and masonry nails reallllll quick huh!. My escape hatch, that is Ms. A's house is in the direct line of the storm also and expected to receive, as the weather man said, "copious amounts of rain." Big sigh! I just wish they could figure out where this thing is headed. It changes hourly. To those of you in the path of this storm, be smart and be safe.
