FLOOD!!!

Last night we had a huge thunderstorm. It was pouring rain and there was tons of thunder and lightning. Our stream in the backyard was just roaring so Thaddeus and I decided to venture down to see just how high it was. WELL, we didnt get past the bottom of our steps when we noticed our bottom yard by the stream had become a part of the stream. YEP the stream overflowed right into our back yard. Sorry no pics of the stream because I couldn't get close enough (it is beyond the red firepit in the picture).

I find the whole flooding thing slightly humorous for two reasons. 1. Our neighbor told us the other day that the bottom yard occassionally floods (Thaddeus and I kind of laughed it off), and 2. When we got out house we had this huge discussion about whether we were in a flood plane or not with the loan/mortgage people. We arent thankfully beacuse our house is way higher than the stream and we would have to have another flood from God (Noah flood) to get to our house but the carzy thing was they said we were not in a flood plane without even knowing their was a stream in our backyard. My one praise is the fact that we just tilled some land down by the stream for a garden. We bought things to plant yesterday but didnt get a chance to plant them. THANK THE LORD!!! They would have been toast. Hopefully when I get home today and survey the damage all of our top soil hasn't washed away in the stream.
