Rain Rain Go AWAY!

10PM the news reported we are over 7inches and its still raining.....bleck.

UPDATED 9:31pm we are offically over 6 inches if rain in the City of Lubbock.  They have issued a state of Emergency for both city and county and most of the area schools have canceled classes.  We just got home from dropping Wyatt off at the Grands house for the night and filling up the truck with gas... we filled up and it was 3.49 a gallon,  we followed my Sister in law home to make sure she got there safe in her little car and then when we went back by where we had just filled up the gas prices were 3.55 a gallon.  Many of the roads are flooded out.  THere are three main roads into town from our house and the two main ones ofthe three have police and fire personell sitting at the intersection making sure people make it through and pushing the ones that dont out of the intersection.....   Mike put out his new rain guage at 6pm and when I waded out through the pond that is our yard to check it at 7om is was already showing and inch and a quarter.  Wild stuff.   I am contemplating braving it to check the rain guage again for grins.... ...ok its 3/4" higher than before....  now i AN GOING TO GET READY FOR BED! BRRRR.....

5.48 inches by 6pm today and its still coing down in buckets.  You cant tell our driveway from our ditch and the playa across the streed is about 50 feet past where I have ever seen it before.  Parts of town are impasable.   Wyatt is driving me nuts!  He is bouncing off the walls.....  Tempted to just send him out in the rain to play!  Bear the bunny is running around the house exploring and loving being a house rabbit.   And you know what?  all this rain and we arent even on the coast where hurricane Ike will hit!   We are getting remnants of Lowell this far inland.   I can only imagine how the path of Ike will affect the state... YIKES!  

I will be back later to post some more pictures of new stuff.. been busy. Gonna go eat dinner now
