This is our back yard. In normal circumstances, we have a small river that runs in the back, that connects us to 2 lakes that we live in between( And those dirt piles, are part of our dirt-bike track =) . Well, these past 4 days now, have been insane. Never have we seen so much rain and stroms here where we live. We have has numerous, "tornado watches, warnings, flood watches, hail,thunderstorms,,,, you name it. No normal TV had been on, just weather news, I have been told to go in my basement twice now, and our town has has the tornado sirens blaring. Yesterday , the Fire Department went up and down our street, passing out flyers and warning us that they suggest EVACUATING !!!!! but it's not maditory. We have had flooding in our basement in the past, and had to redo the entire basement. We also have a gymnasium attatched to ur house, and the flooring is getting now ruined. We had a break in the weather yesterday, I was able to actually go outside for a walk, but soon after returning another huge storm hit. We drove around our town last night to look at damage, it was aweful, some houses just flooded out , and certain streets you could not even drive down. At the "dam" there were a bunch of Fire-Trucks parked , just watchingit, in case it goes. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully today won't be bad, and I won't be forced to leave !!!This picture doesnt do justice, but for my family looking at this, they knolw what it is "supposed " to look like.

Oh my goodness how scary! We haven't had rain in so long and really need some because of the 90+ heat we have been getting! It's crazy how different the weather is throughout the country. I hope you are all staying safe! If you have to evacuate you should fly over here and take a mini vacation...not that I am wishing it comes to that! Love you!
wow... what a mess. Sorry to hear about the gym floor. I'm sure that makes you feel just sick to your stomach... I miss you!
