Storms D:

Hi! I know I lurk a lot on here but earlier this week, we got hit with a ton of rain and storms. Actually it stormed again last night but that was a baby one compared to what we've been through recently ^^;

We're all okay now; power's back on officially today (no more loops for us!). And I have some pretty (scary) pictures to show off.

Here's where you can find some of the aftermath of the flood;

And, yes, it did get up and under the trailer which is why the plastic is all down so it wouldn't rip it to shreds.

We didn't get it as bad as other places, but we did lose a few treetops and crops too ^^;

Anyone else been through some hairy weather recently?

We got hit so hard with that last big system. It was just...... bad. Very bad. We got the least of the problems though, considering that some people around us lost everything; a few lost their lives too >>;

I have a video on my main tumblr I forgot about *smacks forehead*

Big, scary water warning.

Anyway, yeah, we've been through a lot.

Yikes! My home is on top of a hill, so at worst the basement floods, but it's unfinished a d all that's really down there are washer, dryer and wood for the fireplace

that is so scary silverfire! Rain is good but not when it comes in the form of flooding!!

We live next to a creek on a hill and it rarely, rarely gets as high as that in the video. The last time it got that high was back in May of '04. It was a few feet higher than that. Bad night there too. The worst flood that happened was back about 5 years ago but it never flooded here, at all. Everywhere else was a different story ;;

We luckily have higher spots around just in case. But it's pretty rare chance for it to happen again. We're just so waterlogged around here, though. The ground can't hold the water so it just runs and runs and runs. But we've had two hot sunny days and it's starting to dry things out.

That's a estimated 15 feet of water, for extra scariness.

Our road never floods, it was flooded a year or so ago
They replaced the culvert pipes shortly after that with larger ones

Our prayers were heard...we got rain! (And not just a few drops or two here and there). I think I am going to fill up some buckets... hopefully it will rain on and off so the ground has time to absorb it and the water doesn't become run off and slide down the hillsides
