Probably what happened was that it slipped their radar, because it was the only school district in their entire coverage area.

But I know now to check their website earlier than I did this morning!!!!

Considering we live in pretty flat terrain, we actually live on a high point. From what we caught on the news last night, and hubby heard when he went to the store - we were lucky. The highway was shut down in the vicinity of the elementary school about 30 minutes after Jax got home from school.

Had I got her into the other one and kept her in the after school program at her preschool - I would not have been able to get to her to pick her up - the roads in that entire town was flooded, as was the road I would take to get to her.

Wow, you were lucky! Sometimes things just work out for the best. Our road is impassable at two points after even a short heavy rainfall without a truck with 4 wheel drive. I was sweating yesterday as I got poured on in hubby's El Camino all the way from the county line to within 3 miles of home. Fortunately, the water had already stopped rushing and dropped to less than an inch in both the low water crossings, so I didn't have to turn around and wait for it to go down. Interestingly enough, the rain chance for this area yesterday, according to Weather Underground was only 30%.....
