Last evening the storms hit, and it only got worse overnight. wind gusts to 50 mph, heavy downpours. So my area has some flooded roads. Hubby called me after he left for work, warning me not to go my usual way to take Kota to school, as the road was completely flooded. He was not even going to attempt crossing it with his big truck! And on the news the stupid school district said buses cannot come out my way and if you keep your child home they will have an excused absence. Why didn't they just close? Its bad out there! I was keeping kota home anyway. We were up alot last night. The wind and rain kept us awake. So far we have not lost power. But this is supposed to continue throughout the day. There is a community further east of me, close to the bay, they have mandatory evacuations. I think we will be safe here. I will keep an eye on the news today though, in case I think we need to go somewhere. the circular motion of this storm makes it look like a tropical storm!

Just heard we had an inch of rain friday and an inch and a half overnight last night! it is still coming down. I will report back throughout the day to let you know we are ok.
