Rip it and ride it, baby.

This is truly nothing new to us. This is about the ninth time since in our house that it has been flooded. What is new to us is how quickly and hard the rain fell today. Apparently, this was a record breaking rainfall month. People in the area agree that this rain is worse than what we had during Hurricane Ivan.

Flood gates in the surrounding areas have been raised, people living near the rivers are being evacuated roads closed, and sadly, one person died already today when his car washed away in a flash flood.

Our basement has a total of three sump pumps in an attempt to drain the water at least as fast as it is coming in. We are expecting a couple more inches of rain tonight and tomorrow.

As always, we are thankful that our family is fine. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to find Mark some swimmies
