It's day 3 of the never ending rainfall here in Deltona. The past 24 hours has been the worst. I went out today on several joyrides around town mostly to get out of the house I've been confined to all week and to go check out the flash flooding happening around me. My parents house is OK. Our street is on a hill and we have a large ditch in the lot next to us. As I drove around I saw peoples yards that had become swamps; lakes that have exceeded their banks and have found peoples sheds and houses. There are many roads closed due to the flooding. Our local Hospital is having major issues with flooding. Ambulances are not able to get to the door. It's madness. I'm going crazy! I think I've exceeded my time with my family. I love them, but we've been breathing the same air and listening to each other for the past 3 days. I need a change of scenery... I need it NOW! For kicks, this afternoon, my sister and I had a wrestling match in the front yard. As the rain pelted us continuously and the wind swirled around us, we wrestled and laughed and had so much fun. I could just see it now... Our elderly neighbors looking out their window and seeing their missionary neighbor beating her sister in the rain. HAHAA! After rolling around in the soggy grass, we called a truce and went back into confinement.
Well, I guess it's time to watch the Olympics. Will this rain ever, EVER stop?
I'll post pictures and video soon...
