Dont forget the River!

So, althought we managed to steer clear of any wind or tree damage, since we live just a 1/4 mile form the river, all of the rain will usually cause some flooding.

Our neighbor called us Wednesday morning, to warn us Tuesday night, police were knocking on doors to tell people to evacuate.

We jumped in the car Wednesday morning to go get Mia (the cat)

We couldnt get into our driveway, but we were able to reach the parking lot of the park across the street.



As you can see, the street is now flooded up to knee height. The back yard is a little deeper, so at this point, all we have lost is the lawnmower (guess I wont have to mow lawn for a few weeks), and my old hockey gear that was stored in the shed. (I hadnt touched it in 7 years anyways)
