crazy crazy flooding neverending rain
Its been raining like torentual downpour monsoon rain. Its bucketing down. Our suntube has a drip and just outside the entrance to our house there is a deep puddle..not in our house..but close and scary close. Too much water for the gutters and drainage to keep up its all flooding over.
Sooke Rd. has a five ft deep puddle on it in front of Westcoast Tirecraft. Soooo traffic is majorly backed up and people aren't making it through the big puddle so are needing to get towed out. Traffic is nutso out there. What really sucks is that Leah and Erika are coming to visit. I hope they get through ok and safely. Maybe Erika will have second thoughts about the drive out here.
Poor Ryan...he drives the city bus and he just called and said traffic lights are out everywhere. and he said he''s driving through lakes. To top it off his destination sign is broken so it says 'not in service' and there are no backup buses so he has to pull into each stop and explain this to the people waiting.....What a day!
I also just talked to our neighbour and her store she works at is completely flooded...she came home to pick up the camera for insurance photos..So many many people is busy out there fighting floods! Good luck to you!

Yes, the rain is coming down like that here in Seattle too. It's been a pretty good system hitting us. Stay tuned Lindsay. They say it's too remain bad until next week.
good luck swimming through your way...what's the forecast like?
we had all that this past summer. It ccan become treacherous. I hope it relents soon.
That stuff is exciting as a kid, but when you are grown up and it wrecks your home or effects your livelihood, it doesn't seem so cool.
I do like it when the lights go out still. Only for about an hour or two.
Hard rain= sucky day for landlords too. I used to like rain as a kid; now not so much.
I love the rain but I would hate to have flooding. I've always lived in areas that were on higher ground. I would not want to worry about that all of the time
Sounds a bit wet that! A small town 3 miles from where I live floods at least once every year, as it's next to a major river, so they spent a lot of cash and built removeable flood protection in the form of these aluminium slats that stack up. It doesn't sound that bad yet though!
hey all you guys! sorry sooo slooooooooow at replying to your comments...
The rain has slowed down and we haven't had any problems with our house..other than the lawn being all squishy!
I enjoy weather ...the rain, snow, wind and especially thunder and lightening! BUT now that we own a house it adds a whole new persepective to the deal...I am a worried home owner now...lol..I am learning to relax about these things..BUT its all so new to me!
anywho hope you are all doing well!!!! I need to catch up wit yo blogs too its been too long
