~~Today is the 18th straight day of rain. Not just a little bit of rain every day, but constant steady rain. It might break for short bits but before long it's raining again. The clouds parted just a tiny bit this afternoon and I saw a glimpse of blue sky. I haven't seen that in so long. I've never seen anything like this in my life. Streets are rivers. Fields are marshes.
~~It finally happened today. The creek/river that runs through town came out of its banks and parts of my small town are flooding. I'm honestly surprised that it held out this long. That's a picture of it above and yes, that is red water. We have red, red dirt here in Oklahoma which makes red, red mud! It's normally a small creek, not a raging red river.
We're safe where we are on the high side of town, but not everybody is so lucky.
~~I didn't mean for this post to be gloomy. I just want to say that if it's sunny where you are, PLEASE run outside and enjoy it for me!

Unfortunately, it's all thunderstorms here today... but I'm going to try to be grateful that it isn't the 18th day to rain here! :-\
Oh my gosh. I praying you get some much needed sunshine.
I keep seeing unbelievable video on the weather channel and CNN. I'm glad to hear you're on the high side of things! Think sun...
