Where is Noah when you need him? I think that my family thought I was being dramatic when I talked to them on Wednesday but the flooding out here has been very bad and here is the proof.
The rain started coming down really hard on Wednesday which was Luke's first exciting day of preschool and it turned out to be such a bad day. It didn't ever let up. I decided to pick him up and leave the house about 50 minutes early but my neighbor came running out of her house and told me that she would take the babies since I had to get Luke. She was worried because another friend's husband had to abandon his car and wade through the water to her house to borrow a car to get his daughter from preschool. Basically it took me almost three hours to get to Luke which it would normally take 15 mins. I never made it there so one of Luke's friend's mom picked him up for me and met me. Most of the roads were blocked off and looked like rivers. Accidents everywhere, people running out of gas and leaving their cars behind, random people walking barefoot, elementary, ms and high school kids were ordered to stay out at the school until 6:30 pm, it was kind of scary.
I am the nervous nelly type of mom that hates to leave babies behind so I was pretty anxious the whole drive because I didn't even have bottles or diapers to leave with my friend. Anyway, we made it home and the basement was flooded but we are all safe and dry now and so many people had it a lot worse. So grateful for the friends that helped us out. It is still crazy out here and the rivers are still rising which is worrisome. All of these pictures are 1 to 10 minutes from our house.
The animal drowning picture is pretty sad. Two buffaloes drowned at the zoo. Luke cried when he heard about it.
