Rain, Rain, Go Away ...

Seriously!

For the last two days it's been raining buckets of water with no breaks.  The roads are flooding and some are closed.  Schools are letting out early so I have to get my son off the bus soon.  I didn't think it was going to be this bad or else I would have not sent him at all.  I've been sitting here praying that the bus drivers and all the kids make it home safely.  I won't rest until my boy is home.  Also my hubby too, who just called to say he's leaving early as well.  Hoping he can find his way home with all the closed roads. 

This is the corner of our front flower bed.

It's terrible.  I'm watching some of the flooding that's taken place in the area on the news.  Officials are giving everyone warnings to stay off the roads.  It seems in the last few years October has brought us some treacherous weather. 

The worst thing of all is the basement is starting to flood.  We thought the problem was fixed and we hadn't had a problem for a few years but it's getting pretty bad.  Ugh!  I moved some furniture, made sure all electrical wires were off the floor and covered as much as I could with towels.  I hear sirens outside.  Oh Lord, please keep everyone safe and please give us a break from the rain.  

If you're in my area stay safe.
