Black Out.

Lets talk about RAIN!!! holy cow. If any of you have been watching the weather for California you will know what I'm talking about. for the past week we have just been down poured on. homes are being flooded, streets are being flooded, and we are even getting Tornado warnings. It is so crazy.

this picture does NOT do the rain justice. There are some puddles

that go half way up my leg.

yesterday while Scott and I were out and about we ran into this puddle

that was more like a lake. All 4 tires were in the water and the car was in a pretty

large amount of water. It was really fun, but a little scary because

all the water was splashing up on the windshield making it so we couldn't see AT ALL.

this rain is CRAZY.

Only blocks away from our house people are Kayaking in the roads. Or should I say in what use to be roads and now rivers.

Our House is located right by this drainage ditch, usually this ditch is EMPTY. EMPTY=no water what so ever. Now look at it... it is over half way full. it is INSANE.

This picture shows the amount of water that is pouring into the ditch ALL day.

There are spouts like this located throughout the whole ditch pouring INSANE amounts

of water.

Not only are we dealing with large amounts of water but were also dealing with

POWER OUTAGE.

yesterday our power was out from 12:00pm to 12:00am

the biggest bummer about that was we missed

AMERICAN IDOL. :(

This pictures was taken while the power was out. If you look out the

window you can see how dark it is.

No lights were on at all and so it was a little creepy

The rain is suppose to stop tomorrow lets hope the drain can hold 2 more days worth of water :)

Being in this situation with no power and loads of water and Tornado warnings and stuff has really

made Scott and I realize how important getting

our 72 hour kits prepared
and our food storage in order and things like that prepared for situations just like this.

p.s. I know I have been horrible with blogging but I will be better

more posts to come:)
