Story of my life.
Okay. We're sitting there, watching Reno911. It's about 1:30am. We hear a knock on the door and the bell ringing. I get up, and it's our neighbor telling us that we should move our cars because the parking lot's beginning to flood.
.
Shit!! (These were all taken this morning, but the flood remains similarly effective.) So I go to move my car to the parking lot next door to our house. There's a creek to the left of this photo (it's normally very small) and so I figured it would have some water but I would just park at the top of it.
Oooookay. So I could park in one of those spots on the left, but risk getting boxed in by the encroaching water. Actually, in this photo you can see where the water was, so it receded about a foot and a half overnight.
It's a little hard to see, but in the center of the photo there's a white chevron looking thing: it's a sign being reflected into the water. Right in front of that, there's a blue thing sticking up out of the water. That's a post, and it's about a meter tall.So anyway, last night I parked my car safely across the street, and come home. After seeing the parking lot behind us, I told Erin "wouldn't it be scary if we looked out on the porch and it was all water underneath?" So she goes out and looks, comes back with a funny look on her face. So, I go out and look, and imagine this with it being pitch black and just seeing a murky reflection underneath your deck that is supposed to be above ground, not a water balcony:
I freaked out. I couldn't sleep for a long time, and when I did it was only until seven, and it was still dark and I was afraid to look out the window because I'd been having dreams that our first floor was flooded.As you can see, it's just a little lower than it was last night. Oh how awesome. Thank god it's not raining today, let's hope some of this shit evaporates.
Stepstones to hell right there. Not that there's any real danger of it, but one large fear of mine is drowning and this certainly did not do any good.
