I thought I'd put a little update here, since our weather seems to have made it to some of the news website's homepages. Yes, we got a lot of rain today. No, we are not washed away quite yet. As of the last check about 5 minutes ago, we had gotten 4.32 inches of rain in the past 24 hours (measurement thanks to Steve's weather station thing on the roof). We got very little of that overnight. Basically, the rain really started about 10:00 this morning - right as we were preparing for a quick run to Target. The kids made it through the trip fairly dry - Nate and I were a different story.
I took some pictures of the temporary lake out back and the flooded new garden. I'll post those in a day or so...must go get some sleep now!
