What a difference a day makes

WHEW!! What a day! Yesterday around 3:30am most of us in our sleepy, little East Texas town woke up to thunder storms. It was mainly the lightning that did it. After the tornado blew through here a couple of months ago, most of us are pretty leery.
Like I said, after the lightning and thunder lightened up we didn't think anything about the rain. After all, we need it!!!
I woke up around 7:20ish. Mike was pulling out of the drive but he was backing up down the road instead of going forward. You know, R for reverse and D for drive. I couldn't figure out what he was doing.
So me being the nosy person I am, I called and asked "what the heck are you doing"? He proceeds to tell me
that there is water backing up on our little piece of land. (pic. 4)
WHOA!!! Then I begin to look around while turning on the morning news. He's describing to me what he's seeing around town and not believing it.
The day before I had taken pictures of what our yard looked like, all pretty and put in order. NOW it was under water!!
Pretty scary, huh?? We were blessed and thankful that nothing happened to us.
Hhmm, let's see what happens tomorrow...
