My house is on top of a hill so we'll be safe, but we are completely surrounded by floodwater higher than I've ever seen it (came up FAST). It's still a few inches short of the record, but more rain is coming. I'm amazed the power company hasn't cut us off yet, since the lines go through the flooded neighborhood at the bottom of the hill.

I probably won't be going anywhere for a few days, though I suspect I'll be able to get out just in time to go to work Monday morning (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Maybe I'll have time to do a lot more on the car than I planned this weekend, but first I think I'll dust off the generator (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Oh ... and the new bridge that was rebuilt higher after the last flood still isn't high enough (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

They just reconnected the power. Luckily the second wave of storms went through much quicker than the first (which had parked and dumped about 7" of rain) and kind of fizzled, so the water is receding now.

Most of my property was deep under rushing water, and at least half of it still is, but the house is on the highest ground. Often, the slope is a nuisance, but not always (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
