Batten Down The Hatches

We've gotten a minimum of 12" of rain since Thursday at our home in Northeast Douglas County. Today our schools are closed and part of I-20 is closed (westbound, past Post Rd.). We've not ventured out to see what other roads are closed as well.

The lightening and thunder has finally settled down - after an almost non-stop light show beginning around 6 p.m. last night.

The entirely too perky Weather Channel girl ominously warned the next batch of storms tracking from Alabama will dump up to 3" today and have WINDS up to 40 m.p.h. Marveeee - as if my basement flooding isn't bad enough, we may have a tree or two down by suppertime.

Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for the rain. You can stop now. The drought is way over on the westside.

P.S. Anybody got an Ark they want to unload, cheap?
