We watched as the waters rose...

Last Saturday was an interesting day for us. We've been dealing with the hot and muggies for about a week solid, storms on and off and it came to a head Saturday, late afternoon. We had been getting flash flood warnings for a couple of days and it began to rain, hard. This was the end result, actually when the pictures were taken, it was during the worst part. Funny thing is, about an hour after the rain stopped, you wouldn't have known this had taken place. I found out today that we got about 3 inches of rain in an hour.

The scene from our living room window.


This was a shot taken from Teddy's bedroom window of the courtyard. There was a crew in that ambulance, bringing someone home, presumably from a doctors or dialysis appointment. They sat there for about 45 minutes with the patient in the back, not sure why they waited so long.


The parking lot behind our building, our van is behind the red car. Thankfully, spared from any damage.


These next two are also from our living room window, I was kind of hanging outside of the window to get these. Our maintenance manager's car got the brunt of the water. We were watching out the window when we saw him come out to move it (again, not sure why since the damage was done). He was waste deep in water!! The second shot was just after he started to move it, that's why it looks closer. A few guys come from the complex came out to help him. They pushed it to our lot, against the current. David just got his car back today from the mechanic.




We are expecting a lot of rain again this weekend. We'll see what happens...it all depends on how fast and furious it comes.
