Rain, rain...
It's raining. REALLY RAINING. Not just a shower...an entire day of rain. Those of you know that around "these parts" it doesn't happen that often. But 8 INCHES in ONE day is pretty ridiculous. We live near a "lake", or maybe I should call it a storm water detention reservoir, as the sign says. And when we bought the house last fall, we went back and forth with the insurance and mortgage people about flood insurance. We wouldn't be able to afford the house if we were required to get floor insurance. We were pumped when we found out that we were on a suitable elevation that didn't require it. But as I look outside at the rising waters across the street, maybe we should've thought differently. Sand bags anyone?

When we bought our house 5+ years ago, we were NOT in a flood zone as the flood zone ended at our next door neighbor's house. Then, 3 weeks after we bought our house, the federal government rezoned the area and we ARE in a flood zone... so, we've been paying all of that extra insurance money every month and I always wonder why because Lubbock NEVER has a "100 year rain"... well, never say never, right??? I'm hoping and praying that your "lake" does not cross the street and that our park does not overflow... And, how crazy is it that they've had to cancel school tomorrow???
