The past few days have been purely insane. Here in our little town alone, we have gotten 9 inches of rain in a 48 hour period. Six of those inches of rain being on Tuesday alone! Individually, we've been fortunate not to have had any flooding at our house, but these pictures are from just a few miles away. This first one is the street just adjacent to where the boys went to school last year.
This picture is the same street, just a 1/2 mile down the road.

It's pretty incredible how much rain Tropical Storm Hermine has delivered to our area. This isn't even half of it, and we weren't even hit the worst. There are areas in Austin and all the way up to Dallas/Fort Worth area that have been hit with over a foot of rain in the past few days. I know that this doesn't quite compare to devastation that has happened all over the world in the past couple years, but when it hits home, you feel for those around you suffering from loss of any kind!
The forecast is looking better over the next few days, but there is still the possibility of more rain. We'll just pray that the sun that is peaking through will help dry us out before we get too much more!!

WOW...guess we can't complain too much about the rain here in WA. At least we are use to it and can accommodate it better here than TX seems to. My heart goes out to all affected by it. You need some sunshine soon.
Yikes!! I'm glad your house is okay!
I just saw that Belton was flooded on weather.com this morning. I've been thinking of my friends and wondering if it has affected anyone. Thanks for the update!
Wow! That is scary when it's so close to you! Stay safe!
At Chloe's school there was little creek flowing out of the middle where there is like a place for them to sit outside and eat. It was up to my ankles!
