Rain Update

It continued to rain well into the night. Most of the town of Lyn Haven is flooded. Several roads were closed last night and this morning. School is having a rain day. Most child cares are shut down today. Hundreds of parents are now scrambling to find child care today or calling in work. However, when I looked out this morning I was surprised to see small puddles in our yard and driveway, normal size for a normal size rain. The courthouse roof, which has been in need of repair for a few years, has pretty much given way to the last of these storms and workers were there all night mopping up three floors of wet mess. This morning is clear but another storm is due in tonight. The police has asked people to not drive unless absolutely necessary. I sent Ray to get some milk today during his lunch so we won't have to go out tonight during the storm. Ray's class last night wasn't cancelled but the instructor called to say he was just going to do a review since several students called in and so Ray got to stay home with us last night. So there is always a silver lining to every dark cloud.
