We went to Red Robin, enjoyed our meal and when we left the sky looked like this:

The gentlemen in this picture were kind enough to push my van home after it go stuck in almost 2 feet of water, stalled, floated and started to take on water.
Thanks guys!!





Our basement also took on some water and we are working on getting things cleaned up.
When we went to bed at 4am our street and a few surrounding ones were still barricaded in addition to being under water.
Just remember,
be careful what you wish for…..
You just might get it.

Thanks Loretta. There was not a lot of damage in the basement. Thanks to the HUGE pile of dirty laundry down there for soaking up most of the water and protecting everything else! I knew there was a reason I was putting off doing the laundry for so long!

Yeah, needless to say, I learned my lesson and will NOT be wishing for rain any time in the near future!
