We’re under numerous flood advisories and warnings, some of which are extended through Saturday morning. Surrounding counties have been hit worse than we have so far, especially with landslides. Several roads are closed. More rain is expected tonight, tomorrow, and Friday.
Our house and neighborhood are fine so far. The yard is soggy, and the sump pump has been working non-stop, but that’s it. It does seem likely that we’ll have to take the slightly longer way to work tomorrow, though.
I took this picture yesterday morning on the way to work while I was stopped at a red light.

As you can see, the water is much higher in the second picture, just 24 hours later. I wasn’t able to get pictures, but it was higher when I came home for lunch, and even higher when I came home for the day. Based on the amount of rain we’ve had this evening, I highly doubt that section of road will be open tomorrow morning.
Our chances for rain start to go down significantly on Saturday, and there are even a few sunny days in our forecast for next week. I am definitely ready for some sunshine!
How’s your weather? Are you getting desperate for some sunshine?
