Thrusday dec 11


Well they day started off real early. I awoke to the sound of rain coming down in sheets, and the thunder pounding 20 seconds after the strike of lightning (3 o'clock in the morning). At 10 o'clock the rain was still coming down and the water was rising. Everyone was in a rush to try and damn up the front doors, with make shift sand bags, for those that lived in the lower level. It wasn't until around 2 o'clock that we got things under control with the sand bags and the time that the rain desided to stop. The water rose in some apartments to about 2 or 3 inches.


(these are some of the photo's dallyn took while I was running around helping with the sandbags.)




The next day we woke up to blue skies and the brightness of the sun. That didn't last long. It is now about 6:30 and the skies are dark with flashes of lightning along with the sounds of thunder not to far behind. This storm is different because it seems to be going in east instead of yesterdays storm which was going west.
