flooding

I was so busy talking about my decorating stuff that I forgot to mentiont that just a few miles from us. (like maybe 5 to 10) The are flooding. We have had so much rain that downtown is flooded. They let the levies go at the big damn near us and the water is flooding homes and businesses. We are ok, except we can not go the way we usually go to the other side of town. We have to check to see if we can even go across the river tomorrow to bring the animals to the vet. I may need to reschedule.

My parents left tonight because my dad's wife was afraid to be stuck here.

We had some stormes and tornadoes hit our state. The worst was one that went threw a Boy Scout camp. They had time to prepare, but no place to go. 4 kids were killed and 48 injured. They had 100 kids and 15 councelors. Than means almost half were hurt. I don't know badly some were hurt, but I know that some were critically hurt. This happend about 7pm yesterday. Awful.

I pray that it does not rain. We don't need anymore, it needs to dry up the water. We have had more rain then the summer of 93. They put some things into place so that the flooding is so much better. Otherwise we would be underwater floating downstream. I know that the city we live in flooded then. I am not sure, because this was farm land, but I would guess it flooded also. We are not in danger now because they did so much to fix everthing. But the river does not crest until tomorrow. And that is if we don't get any more water. It rain 3 to 4 inches last night and it is lightning tonight. Uggh
