Our food supply is running low. They told us not to flush our toilets or take showers. Some of us have no electricity. My subdivision is isolated from others because of the waters and the inhabitants are behaving like they're living in Old West--the braver men walking the perimeter at night; the women handwashing; the children flocking around.
News arrive from the outside world in the form of thefire trucksheriff at the entrance and everyone gathered to look at LEAFLETS telling us which roads were underwater. We heard about cars driving into canals while going to work yesterday. GOING TO WORK???! We were told to stay home because of flood and possible tornado! Maybe these people were lying; they went out to use McDonald's bathroom.

We shook our rain-soaked heads when we were warned not to go SURFING because the waves were rough. SURFING???! Umm. See here, sheriff, are you making fun of us? We're simple folks here, just needing food and a bath. We don't take kindly to no surfer punks here in our tiny enclave, hidden from civilization. In fact, we ban surfing because it's a sin. The gosh-darned water-rats caused the rain and the rising waters, yes they sh'ore did.
By the way, some of our cell phones died and we don't have no landlines these days, so can you make a trip over to check on Aunt Bee and Uncle Luis down the dirt road? They live all alone in the woods and we're worried since it's been since Sunday since we last seen 'em and they hadn't called us at'all. Thankee kindly.
20 inches of rain, people. And more still pouring.
There are ducks swimming down my river/street and Bad Puppy is determined to catch us lunch because we're stuck in our house and have to now live off the land. Yesterday we netted some fish that had ESCAPED from the pond and were joyriding the river/street. Tomorrow, I'm sure we'll be hunting down a water buffalo. Or wrassling an aligator or two.
That is, if my house hasn't floated away by then.
The rain, it's still coming down and the waters, it keeps creeping up that driveway.
Bear with me while I learn. The first button likes the POST. The second button likes the BLOG site. Please help me by "liking" me. Thanks!

So far we haven't lost power ( a whole lot of "flickering" though!) And only some of the streets are flooding.
But if this rain doesn't stop soon- well, I have this inflatable raft.... :-\
Take care, KC! And don't let the kids play in the streetwaters. They're warning us of the danger of disease and alligators.
mmm where the gators at?
In the Dominican Republic a lake overflowed its borders and it had crocs that have gone "missing"
is that last one a real pic from this storm? it looks fake! good luck!
Kim, nah, I don't live in such a rich neighborhood, but that's a real storm picture from of other drowned community from some other storm. But it's very, very bad here where I am. Lots of people have lost their homes. Some of them have lived here for 30 years and never seen a hurricane-less storm like this.
Hang in there! I'm hoping, no strike that, praying the rain stops for you.
