My DH said my blogs should be written in my own words, rather than written with the help to ChatGPT. So, you just get me and my own words on my blog. Sorry for your bad luck! 😉

Last evening after I returned home from a long day at work, it began to rain. From our kitchen window, I could see the rain change from hard rain, to downpour to raining in SHEETS of water, sideways! I met my husband in the front room to watch out the window to view the street in front of our house. The wind was blowing hard as the rain turned to hail and new spring leaves started blowing off of the trees in the neighborhood. It was a crazy unusual spring storm.

Our neighbor across the street and couple of houses down from us had flooding in their basement. A coworker showed me a short video she took of a passing car driving through the “river” that used to be the road in front of her house. There was so much water that when the car drove through, it caused waves to roll up onto my coworker’s driveway and sidewalk toward her front door. The water stopped about 1 foot from a window well to her basement. She was fortunate the rain slowed when it did. The water did not get into her house. We were fortunate as well. Our basement is dry. No flooding. I heard stories of lots of flooded basements around town. My heart goes out to them.

This morning, on my way to work, I could see small pockets of hail piled up in corners, near fences and houses. There were leaves plastered to cars, fences, and houses. Our little neighborhood park and storm field were filled with water. They looked like beautiful still lakes where the kids usually play. It was oddly beautiful.

New Neighborhood Lake 😉
