A River Runs Through It

It stormed like crazy this morning, waking us up. Still in bed, Ken said "I wonder if our wet-weather creek has any water in it." I laughed. "You really want to go out in the storm just to see?" He obviously did, as he was now out of bed and getting dressed. I went to the window - I love watching storms. "Umm, Ken? You don't need to get dressed to see the creek."



I'm not sure if you can see it in the picture below, but there's a green slide in the trees. That slide is ours and just within our property line, to give you an idea of how much of our yard is under water.


Our whole neighborhood was like this.



This storm knocked out our cable, causing us to be without internet, phone, or fax for 6 looooong days.
