Thunderstorms

Last night and early this morning we had some powerful thunderstorms come through our area. These storms dumped about 3-4 inches of rain in about 6 hours, which produces flash flooding in our neck of the woods. I took a walk early this morning to Mud Creek, which boarders our property. This creek is not usually more than a trickle this time of the year, but what I found this morning surprised me. I took a quick video with my phone and have embedded it below.

To top all that off, the power went off around 5:30 a.m. this morning and did not come back on till 4:00 p.m. It was difficult not having basic services for 10.5 hours, but what really drove me crazy was not being able to my iPad or iMac. I was stuck on my iPhone trying to keep up on the weather, our power company's progress, and my social networks.

Eighteen hours after it all started, all is back to normal. The creek has receded dramatically and with the power back on, my Internet connection and iPad are blogging away.

Sure made for an interesting, yet boring day.
