Waterfront Property


We had a terrible storm in the early hours of Sunday morning. As a result, we now have waterfront property; which wouldn't be so bad, if we were supposed to have a lake in front of our house. There is still a lot of water across the street and all over town. Several country roads are closed. The tornado siren went off twice. Rain was coming every which way but down. We lost power 3-4 times. Justin and I got everything ready to go down into our storm shelter in the garage, but the storm let up a little bit and we just huddled in our hallway with Joby asleep on some blankets. He slept through the whole thing and woke for business as usual about 7:30. Justin and I had fallen asleep about 4:45. We survived and only have two water spots in the ceiling to show for it.

And I thought the storms in NC were bad. They had nothing on that. Glad to know you were safe. Congrats on the baby girl. We're excited for you!

I'm glad you all are safe. I hear this season will be a big storm season. Have fun in your storm cellar!

Hope you get duly dried out soon though I know how horrible flooding can be

Holy cow! I can't believe how much water is in your yard!
