day 22

I am tired! Spent the day helping friends clean out their homes that had about 5 ft of water in them. They lost it all, even the cars in the garage, all the photos, the computers, TV's, clothes, the works. The whole area looked like a damn bomb had gone off, the whole thing really sucked! The people there were very upbeat, they knew they were still safe and had dodged a bullet. I know we are lucky! Such is life....

The flooding is getting out of control around here this weekend! There were actually houses floating down I-24 yesterday, We are OK for now and seem to be in the best high ground in this area, pray it stops!

day 16

More horrible weather today, Andrew's 3rd game in a row was canceled due to rain and heavy storms! He's a little bummed, Mom is home today and freakin' out pretty bad! The kids have already been stashed in the under-stairs closet twice and the potential for them to go back in there is high! We just heard that the interstate is closing due to flooding! And I thought Louisiana had bad weather till we moved here! Least we low on the "skeeter" scale!!

day 10

Well, last night was no fun, we had a bad storm system come through the south and we are still picking up around our neighborhood from the killer tornado almost exactly a year ago. So, the wife and I rearranged the entire garage in order to get both the cars inside in-case of hail and battened down all the hatches. We never actually got in the closet under the stairs, but we made damn sure we could get in there if we needed too!! When the time came for the storm to hit our area, it was very anticlimactic, as we only got a little rain and some wind. Our hearts do go out to the folks in Ms who lost everything. Such is life....
