Would Someone Please Contact Noah...



...and get his blueprints on how to construct an ark? We have not lost power..(many have):):), we have not lost internet :):) but boy, oh boy has it ever rained!! At least a foot or more where we are (and that's a conservative estimate) and 15-18" in surrounding areas. The little pool you see is nasty dirty now..full of leaves and falling debris...but is actually brand new and only used once. It was empty 2 days ago...and has been overflowing. Our lake was really low and needed water but this is nuts! Notice Leni and Mom Jo telling T.S.Fay to GO AWAY!! Of all the hurricanes and storms we've had...this is epic rain. In some counties east of here they've even had alligators floating in neighborhood flood waters!!

UPDATE: Just got back from walking Mom Jo's property. She lives just a few doors down from us. Anyway, her neighbor came out and told us he gauged 10" of rain yesterday alone. Considering he's an engineer, I guess his gauge outdoes my little swimming pool estimate for accuracy. That's alot of rain.
