Not even a great day for ducks

We've had heavy rain since last night and most of the day today. We drove around to see the flooding when we left school today and here are a few pictures we took on the camera phone. It's about as bad as we've ever seen it here. There are a lot of roads closed here in the county and several schools have already announced they're closed tomorrow - however, ours isn't on the list yet, but we haven't given up! - Hallelujah - 6:30 Wed. morning we got a call from our registrar - good news - no school, but teachers report at 10 this morning. We can take it! According to the news tonight, we set a record today for amount of rain in one day here -
4 inches!
If you click on this picture, you might be able to see the white ducks paddling for all they were worth on the far side of their swollen duck pond to keep from getting swept away.

The water was right up to the sidewalk in front of Dollar Tree at about 5 this evening.

The car driving through this deep water between the ABC and ball fields was having quite the time, making one run after another through the deep water. We took a video or two also that should be fun to watch.

Oh my that was some rain. We had flooding like that in January last year. Hope you got a day off of school. I know Kim's kids are hoping for a snow day soon.
