Floods of 2009??!!

It rained for about an hour this afternoon.

ONE stinkin' hour

& look at what resulted

from this one hour of rain........

Flood of 2009 in Williamsburg.
5 inches of rain fell in 1 hour.
All the water you see in these pictures is NOT supposed to be there.

Hubs picked up Bubs during the torrential downpour
& I was driving home from work.
Not fun.
Not fun at all.
But at least we weren't bailing water out of our basement.
Luckily we live high up on a hill.
Almost all of the entrances into Williamsburg were flooded tonight.
Yeah, we were those annoying people driving around gawking at all the poor people watching water creep up their backyards & watching people pull saturated carpet out of their basements.

& what is up with those parents that let their children play in flood waters?

I didn't take pictures of the innocent children frolicking in the water, but what the heck are their parents thinking?

Chemicals from the fields,

raw sewage backing up from the sewers,

dangerous debris floating in the muddy water....yeah, that's safe.

MORONS!

Here are a few pictures from the back of our house.

All that standing water means lots-o-mosquitoes.

Poor Bubs doesn't need more bites.

He's covered head to toe with nasty red oozing bumps from those little blood suckers.
But he don't care!

Hopefully we have some dry days in the forecast!
