June 24, 2008

The levy here in town broke early this morning. Actually, it was middle of the night, wee hours of the morning part of the morning. There is a mobile home park that may or may not see some water. They've got a major exit off one of our main highways closed because the end of that road is flooded.

There is more rain expected up north this week, too. If things get too bad, there is a possibility that the kids' daycare could see some water. I have a feeling with the levees breaking, though, it'll make the flooding not as bad as it could be. Although, there is so much that has been built up down there in the flood plane since our last flood it's ridiculous. People seem to think that since the last flood was at a height classified and 100 year flood and that since levees were rebuilt they won't see a flood down there for 100 years. Ok, maybe I'm stupid, but I really don't think Mother Nature pays much attention to statistics.

It did rain here today. We had a nice little thunderstorm for about 45 minutes or so. Just a typical summer thunderstorm. Then, it got muggy. But, not near as badly as if it were the end of July. The pool water where I take my acquacise class is still pretty cold. We really need some summer heat to warm the swimming pools up around here.
