OT - the Cranberry flood

Talked to her this afternoon. She said all is fine. She and some other kids
decided to play football on the Quad lawn yesterday while it was raining.
Now that just gives me something else to worry about she she dislocated her
knee about 18 months ago. Would hate to think of her doing it again.

She loves it out there. I doubt she will ever move home again.

Mickie,

Glad to see you were able to come through all of this OK. Looks scary to
see
that kind of flooding. Now I have something else to worry about with DD
back
there. Glad it was nice and dry when I came out to see you.

As long as everything is flooded, you should have time to do a lot of
quilting!

My neighborhood got literally swamped when the little
creek across the street overflowed its banks today while
5.1 inches of rain fell in about 15 hours. The creek normally
handles all of the rain runoff from the streets in the housing
plan. We had nearly the same conditions last Friday with
the tail end of Charley, now this is the results of Ivan moving
north through our corner of Pennsylvania. Lots of nearby
cities got flooded a lot worse, I feel very thankful we were
spared any lasting damage around here.
All of the houses in this plan were built on concrete slabs,
the good news is there are no basements to go under water.
Though some sheds and garages and one trucking company
at the end of the road that were built on some lower-lying
land weren't so lucky.
I've got buckets catching drips in 3 places where my roof
somehow started leaking, though they're nothing that DH
can't fix when the sun shines again.
I've posted some photos taken during a little walk under a
big umbrella, we couldn't drive very far because the roads
out of the plan were closed.
(.. funny the rain drops falling don't show in any of the pictures)

I was pretty impressed by the brass plate somewhere in downtown
Pittsburgh that shows where the 1936 flood got to. Stiff neck
looking up to see it...

Glad to hear DD is ok. If all you are worrying about is a football
accident you are doing fine 'Sort of adult' kids are a big worry.
One big reason I was glad my kids didn't go away to college is
settling in a far away place but heck they can do that anyway.
With all the nieces and nephews I have noticed few raised in
So. Orange county venture far away for long.

DS transferred to SDSU and has been commuting 2 days a week 150
miles each way. Thank goodness the job he has been working on is
coming through and he will be moving soon. Rosie's here I come!

Most amusing that I've heard so far up here in upstate NY: an
acquaintance of mine saw a trampoline floating down the river.
