Have a Sunshine Day
Yesterday was unreal! We had the biggest rainstorm ever. Well, maybe not EVER but pretty darn close. Hurricane Hermine hit the Gulf Coast sending its wind and rain northward to our sleepy little Central Texas town 6 hours away.
To give you a deeper understanding...8 to 12 inches fell across the area; bridges were covered; rivers and creeks were swollen to the point that trailer homes were knocked off their bases. It was crazy.
Meanwhile, I was sitting at home with my family quietly enjoying my Facebook time and playing Bejeweled. In my mind I thought, "Wow, it is pretty rainy." I had no idea.
This morning it was still raining and at 5:45 I began receiving automated phone calls from Caitlin's school principal, the school district and my principal informing us that the rain had caused so much flooding that the schools were having to start two hours late. That meant Caitlin didn't have to be at school until 10:00 and I didn't have to be at school until 9:00. Gary and I began reading the news and Facebook posts to assess the situation since he had to leave for Missouri today to meet his new boss. Pictures ran through my mind of all sorts of mayhem.
Imagine my surprise around 7:30 when I went to take Gary to the airport to pick up his rental car and I found that the roads were clear and I was there and back in no time.
The rain continued throughout the day. Later on I got an email from the dance school telling me that all classes have been canceled. I wonder what they know that I don't.
Well, they didn't know anything obviously because as I left school today, the sky was blue and bright as if nothing had ever happened.
I hope the rest of this short week remains uneventful since Gary is away.
Here's wishing you all a Sunshine Day.
