The Flood of '06

We had quite a bit of rain last night and it got to the point where the storm sewers just couldn't handle all of it and it started backing up pretty fast. At the deepest point, in the middle of our road, it was thigh deep. Within 2 hours though, it was all gone. In the mean time, kids were having fun in the water. People would start to drive down the street, see the water, gun their vehicles and then stop about half way through and back up. In the meantime, they created a wake that actually washed water into people's houses. I did see one guy out there with his dog and kid. The dog was having a great time and the kid was actually trying to swim in the water. WITH HIS FACE DOWN!!! What parent lets their kids put their faces in water like that???? OMG! I wouldn't even let mine play in it. Hey, if the storm sewers are backing up - who knows what's in that water?
