Flooding

So yesterday it started raining at our house at about 4:50 pm and less than an hour later the street in front of our house was flooded and the bayou was growing. It stopped raining, we went to Empty Nesters FHE, came home and went to bed. Well, we woke up this morning, at 2:30am, to a very loud thunderstorm. When the driving rain continued we decided to come downstairs to check things out. The septic system alarm was going off - first clue that the yard is flooded!! As we watched the water rise we made the decision to move our vehicles to higher ground. We took the dogs with us so they could doo what dogs doo in the yard when it's not covered in water. We had to navigate through calf deep water to get to the cars and knee deep water to walk back to the house. They say we had between 6" and 8" of rain this morning! Well, we're safely back in our home. The water is slowly receding and Dan & I hope to be on our way to work by lunch time! That's our latest adventure!!
Hope all is well with all of you!
