April 11 we had some doozies sweep through here. Apparently these weren't on anyone's radar, they just popped up. We knew slight chance of rain, but we didn't know how much. Here's the damage...
This was about 20 minutes after the rain started. We had three cars in the driveway because we had Bart's there, too. Hmmm. We had to do something...
See the truck down the street? And in the next one, too.
See the fire hydrant?
This photo has my neighbor's SUV in it at the back of their driveway.
The moat behind our house...
J has been telling me for 5.5 years that there is no way to get a car in our garage. But let me tell you that when threatened (by nature's storms and his wife) there is a way!
See AB in the photo? (She's the tiny head). She wanted to go to the beach. We obliged. What gracious hosts we are.
The water in my back yard was half way up Bart's calf.
We had neighbor kids swimming in the street. I guess it was safe, at least from cars. But, ewww.
We did have some roof/ceiling damage from this. Same place as the hurricane, if that tells you what the wind was doing. Regular rain doesn't make it inside my house, but driven rain does. We had more flooding with this storm than we did with Hurricane Ike. Puts it in perspective.
