Sunday was a very new experience for me. In fact, it was a new experience for most poeple in my town – we experienced a flood. I know I’ve seen much worse on the news so I won’t go on and on, but it was truly a lot of water. My teenager was stuck on one side of town and and could not come home. Local school were cancelled for a day or two this week. Many roads are still closed. The local grocery store had to close because everything on the bottom 3 shelfs of the store was ruined. The gas pumps are still not open. The cell phone shop floated away.  Yes.  I do now have somewhat of an idea what a flood feels like. I have heard that there were 3 deaths associated with the flood, but I’m not sure if that is true or rumor. I’ll be watching the paper on Thursday, but no one that I know faced horrible circumstances. Here’s a few pictures of our town on Sunday afternoon:

The Gas Pumps In Front of Brookshire Brothers (the grocery store)

A Bridge Behind the Tourism/Chamber of Commerce. Those lines that look sort of like railroad tracks….they are the handrails:

A similar picture but you get a better review of a local restaurant in the background:
