WATER EVERYWHERE

....literally.... most of you know that we live on a hill, but that doesn't seem to matter when you get downpours. We discovered last night that we had water in our basement. Larry decided to look after seeing a pond in our backyard. Sure enough. It was coming in through our window well. There was about 3 inches sitting in there. So this week will be busy--need to get all the drywall and insulation out before it starts to stink!! We've already had 6 inches in 8 days! Correction--Larry informed me I was a little low on the amount of rain. He said he heard that we had 4-6 just this past weekend so lets just say we've had rain--and water is literally everywhere.

What a wonderful day we had. We had some friends over and kids got to spend the hot/humid day outside in a jumper, sprinkler and a kiddie pool. Oh to be a kid again.

Well, not sure where to start. Our company left and the storms came. We had quite a interesting day (weather wise) Around 3:30 we were issued a tornado warning. After what happened here 2 years ago-of course we kind of freaked out when we heard the siren. So here is some of the damage that the storm did. Some it was a tornado others say just really high winds. I'm not sure what to think. Didn't get a picture of the wood play structure that was still intacked just not in the spot that I was suppose to be. (You tell me) Sorry some of these pics are blurry but didn't want to stop to take pics. Bottom Left--notice the electric poles. Most of the area was without power. We were lucky Some on our block are without power. I forget to mention how close this was to us. ONE BLOCK!!!! Click on picture to enlarge it.
