Flooded

Wow, the rain really came down today. The weather guy said that up to 8 inches of rain was expected in some areas.

Here's a picture of the road to dad's work.


The power went out at Mr. Heater around 9 am dad said. They let all of the employee's go home around 10 because the power company said it would be a few hours before they had power restored to the area because of all the flooding. Dad's area was one of the hardest hit. Dad stayed to make sure people had rides to the rapid stations and what not. The power came back on about 10:20, so dad stayed and worked the rest of the day. The highway was closed due to flooding also, they said over 7 feet of standing water was on a section of I-480. Dad drives a Saturn, not a submarine. Uncle Adam drives a submarine, but who knows where he is right now (it's classified, if we told you.......... well you know)

After the storms let up, and the waters receded, Mom took Jenna and I over to Strongsville for my Pizza Party put on by the Strongsville Athletic Assoc. for all the kids who played T-ball this season. It was cool, we got to play at the Rec. Center and swim for awhile. Mom got me a trophy, which I'll have dad take a picture of, and post it later.

Stay dry out there.
