School, Flooding and More

Not a lot has happened since my last post, but enough to have nothing to post, if that makes sense. Two weeks ago we had a crazy storm that dumped about 20 inches of rain in about 24 hours. It had rained pretty much every day for the last month to 6 weeks prior, so the area was already saturated. Most have heard about the horrible flooding in Louisiana, and it's still happening as the water makes its way to the gulf. Some of the tributaries are backed up, and flooding is still causing problems. 

The picture below is across the highway our street connects to (the girls' school is the other end of this road to the right).  We were actually standing on our street looking across.  That is as high as it got by us. We are on the high end of this highway. It drops in elevation as you head to the right (south).


Prior to all of this, we had a great afternoon with family watching Wicked in Houston. What a great show!



First day (13 days ago):




Today was their 2nd first day. Let's hope those storms in the Atlantic headed this way never make it here. I don't think this area can take it again.
