It's kind of hard to see but if you look closely, we have no street!!! It was the most intense... non sleeping.... night ever!! (even more than that slumber party). It was all night of lightening and thunder...no sooner one boom would end and the next would begin.... seriously, no exaggeration at least 6-7 HOURS of it.... we were all a bit shell shocked after it was all said and done. Intense. Why do these things always happen at night..... When I first looked out, the water was up to the tree.... we did have our trash out.... we no longer own an outside trash can.... crazy.
It took a few hours for the water to drain down....and we tried to run a fast errand. (and being that it was tax day, we needed to go to the post office).
The picture below is the bayou park we walk to all the time, it was more than 6 feet under.... crazy!
This is the entrance to the neighborhood right behind us....they had massive flood damage, more than 180 houses flooded.
Here is the bayou separating the two neighborhoods (ours and the one behind it)(next to it/whatever). Thank goodness this didn't overflow!!!!!
It turned out that school was closed all week because of the floods and roadways under water. Mikayla came to work with me all week. It was crazy!!!!
Of course we have two very scardy cat dogs..... Abbie became my earmuffs as she curled around my head on the pillow and Bella, I figured out how to keep her from shaking us off the bed, I wrapped her up in a blanket, keeping her head covered up so she couldn't see the storm.... good grief! then at one point she got so hot she was panting and HOT.... so I uncovered the lower part of her body and left her head bundled up, she was just fine! We have to do what we have to do, huh.....
