Abandon Ship

Unless you have been totally out of touch we got a little rain in the area today the water was running so fast down the hill on the way to work that I flelt like I was shooting the rapids on some river.

A little after noon we started hearing reports of flooding that prevented people from going into or out of the industrial complex that I work in. Of the three access roads into or out of the complex only one of them was passable and that was under water. It was about 1pm when they decided to tell everyone to leave while they could. As I waited for my team to finish up what they were working on and get ready to head home I looked out the window and it was like someone had given the abandon ship order as everyone was heading to their cars.

I found out that the mom-mobile does not float. As I left the complex I went though water over the road that was up over the running boards on the side of the van. Thank God it didn’t stall out and the area I had to cross wasn’t very wide.

So I sit here typing this up and the power has just gone out so I am going to go and gather up a few candles, the extra blankets and call it a day. I guess I will post this in the morning unless the power comes back on here soon. (the power was only out for 1/2 an hour.)
