Even the National Weather Service sent us an emergency alert this morning.

We get local alerts, of course, like everyone else gets. If you sign up, they beep your phone, etc. and tell you what's happening or what to expect. We got flood warnings off and on all night, and it honestly felt like a hurricane rain for a while. Then early this morning, after finally getting to sleep for at least 45 minutes, the big alert came from the National Weather Service. Our entire area is pretty much flooded. The estimate for where I am is that we got up to 7 inches of rain in just a few hours. The streets are mostly covered, there are new lakes in yards, and people who have basements are desperate for a second sump pump, etc. Some people who live in the lower areas have water in their homes. They are recommending we stay home, and stay off the roadways, highways, etc. until the water goes down. That's enough excitement for our weekend!
