    Default A bit soggy down here...

    When it rains, it pours or so the saying goes. We got 20" last night, more on the way.

    Our neighborhood. The water has risen since this pics was taken...





    The back of our house. The lake is really for flood retention with nine foot embankments sloping down to a small pond.




    I know there are people out there who have already been flooded out. Sending prayers to y'all who have been affected by the storm...

    As a side note, don't want to hear any more whining about the how much snow you got....

    Default Dodged a bullet...

    At 10 pm the water was three feet from the house, the lake was starting to come over the edge. We raised as much furniture on soup cans as we could, had an extra beer and went to bed.

    The house stayed dry and the water is receding now. On the road, it's almost down to the gutters. Think it will take a while for the lake to become a pond again, but it did it's job.

    Thank you all for your kind thoughts and will see you at Spyderfest!

    We live a couple miles from 290 and Huffmeister and parts of our neighborhood did flood. We were very lucky!

    Sending prayers to the family and loved ones...
