The crazy storm!

On Wednesday September 15th we got hit with the crazy storm which was actually the remnants of the tropical storm Hermine. It rained very hard all night and continued until around 1pm that day. Of course, Sofia just had to go out and play in the water before we headed to school. So, she put on her cow boots (that barely fit anymore) and her frog rain jacket and ran out to play in the massive amounts of water. She loved slogging through the drainage that was at the far end of our driveway. After a few minutes, we headed to school and I had to take a different route after the main road was flooded, and then had to drive through one are that was at least two feet under water! Luckily it stopped before I picked Sofia up from school and was soon clear and sunny.

Once home, we wanted to check out our neighborhood lake and check out the surrounding area.

Out in the rain


Across the street from our neighborhood - the entire area was flooding over and dumping into our neighborhood pond


The river near us - it's usually a narrow stream


The horse farm near us - completely flooded!


Ready to explore!

Watching the water


Picking very soggy mushrooms


Our bridge - Our neighbor said that it was nearly completely under water during the peak of the rain
