Looks like your state really got hit with rain and storms! How are you faring?
I’m doing well. Thanks for asking. Staying home. We live on a hill with no significant streams between us and the grocery store. Sometimes the ditch at the bottom of the hill gets clogged with leaves and stuff, and makes a little water over the state highway.
The country roads have enough trouble that school was canceled for Monday. Had some people who commute to work that couldn’t get home or else couldn’t get in to work. I saw a photo on the news of I55 that looked a lot like the 1993 flood that I traveled when I was working and commuting.
Another quarter of an inch, and I55 would have been flooded too. It was too wet and cold today to plant taters, so I’m hoping to get it done soon. Hubby went out to work in the garden, but came back in and said it was too cold.
River etc. is supposed to go back down by Wednesday, but another storm is on the way. We usually have spring and fall-December floods, so it’s not that unusual. People around here who are impacted, tend to know how to be prepared for it. Of course there are lower spots that just have to be sandbagged-tends to be a yearly thing too.
Life goes on. At least we aren’t as cold as it is up North. LOL. I was lazy and ordered pizza delivery tonight. They had a substitute from a nearby town, due to some employees being trapped at home by creeks flooding the low-water bridges.
