Some places have poor drainage, but even with good drainage, with that much rain areas will flood.

Yuck! Flooding!

I lived in an area that was subject to flash-flooding at one time. One year I had the back lawn submerged, with water nearly to the second step from my porch... a couple more inches and it would have been inside! Roads were rivers and some were closed with cops directing traffic to make sure nobody tried to go in there.

It can be really scary!

I hope you are safe, Mari.

Its been pretty okay here.

Its rained a little. I think we may be getting more soon.

But the temperature has been nice. The wind for driving has
been okay. That is good because when I drive I hate wind.

I am worried we are in for some tornadoes. Its been that
kind of looking weather.

We have been getting rain and rain and rain.

For the last three or four days. Its feast of the hunter's moon.

So its usual for this weekend to always rain. Its something
that used to be a day that one either Thursday or Friday the
special needs kids went in rain to the feast.

It happened again this year. Just not with Derrick.

Thanks for the news

We have had rain off and on for days.

I don't mind as long as its not pouring. Today though I had to get
out and walk in it. Not bad. Till this guy that the DCS hired
to supposedly help kids with IEPs. Tried to whine, then he decided
to tell the team that the kid probably wouldn't get what we were
giving him when he went home.

Gosh we all know that. And my counterpart in that part of the state
will do what she can with this great IEP. But he wasn't helping my
mom.


The poor mom turns to me and wants to know what his problem is?

I said, Not now. We will talk later. Luckily the person she has been
working hand in hand with from DCS is good and was there tooo.

But ugh, I hope the idiot isn't invited next time.
