40 days and 40 nights

Much of the little town where I live flooded today. Houses sitting in little lakes, streets closed, cops going door to door evacuating people, etc.

My new rental house and Hannah's place are both fine (so far), but i drove out to our old neighborhood (thru water up to the headlights on my Dodge Dakota) and the home we just sold looks like at least the garage is flooded.

Wonder what the new owners think -- it has to suck to buy a house and have it flood two months later. The picture below is lousy, but all I had with me was my phone, sorry.


I went down to the Public Works area and helped fill & deliver sandbags for a few hours. It was raining and dirty and miserable work, but people were in good spirits. It might even be considered sort of fun, maybe by someone who had never had any actual fun before, and had only read about it or something. And if your house wasn't flooding...
