flash flood warning

Apr 30, 2006 19:42


So today there was this big weather cell that went through Rock Island.   I'm a big fan of fun weather, but this created between a foot and foot 1/2 standing water on the streets from Augie to my house.  I was really scared that the car would stall or something like that.  So I got home and was still freaked out and I opened up the storm door to the porch and Derek is standing there in the open doorway to the house and said "the porch is flooding".  And I look down and the carpet was floating because of the water underneath it.  I kinda freaked out!  And then I slammed the storm door on my thumb and killing me now.  Eventually Derek helped me get the loveseat and dresser off the porch.  I sucked up all the water with the suck-vac thing that I empty the hot tub with.  The carpet is trashed and I'm not happy...but at least the rest of the house is ok.

It was a terrible first flood w/out the parents experience!  It was not not fun.  Ok well off to CWA...
