It rained almost 18 inches in 24hrs here or so we were told. We felt every inch of the 18 inches. We have the swamp next to us and when you add a lot of water in a short amount of time it over flows into our yard and our house. We were very lucky yesterday that the water never came in the house. We only had about two or three inches to go and we would have had a flooded living room and laundry room. We didn't think we were going to get the van out of the garage but we did. Luckily we only lost a few things out of the garage. We woke up at about 6:15 Saturday morning. I took the boys downstairs while Red was getting ready for work. I knew the swamp was full and it had rained during the night so I looked outside and found that we were surround by water. Crazy feeling. I called Red down was like WOW. So he hurried to get dressed because he had duty that morning. And the rest is history. What a day. We lived though it. We made a good time of it and thanked God last night that the water didn't come in the house. We are so very thankful.
