I am sure this creek was higher earlier but when we drove by the creek was higher than usual
and gushing fast.

Even a tire was bobbing up and down


A wider view


Roads were closed from overflowing flooding
and branches and mud about


At 7AM
Just about 8" of rain

We did lose power from noon til 5pm,
no worry, I managed to catch up on a nap and do some stuff around the house.
My kids played LIFE but did wonder when we'd get power.

Last night, I was up til about 1 A.M. but this is what it did look like pounding against the window.


May Hurricane Irene fizzle out and though we considered ourselves very lucky
that the hurricane went to more to a tropica storm,
I still think of the many who weren't as fortunate.
