Evacuation!

As you know we have been having large amounts of rain in the last few days.  We knew it was going to cause problems.  We are at the beginning phase of flooding.  The creek down the hill went over last night.  When I got up this morning it was still raining.  I put the news on to see what was happening.  They were starting to evacuate the areas that were affected years ago during Hurricane Agnes.  Okay, that is Grandma.  I called the office where she lives and they said all residents need to be out by 8:00 PM.  Britt and I jumped in the car and went down and got Grandma and another one of the ladies that is close friend.  The air was full of excitement and fear.  We suceeded in getting our two ladies out.  Next was the drugstore so we had enough meds.  That done, we need to get back on the highway.  Looking at the traffic ahead, it was bumper to bumper.  It took a while to get out of town.  The traffic going into town was three lanes and bumper to bumper.  Glad I wasn't in that.  The road was clear all the way home.  Now we have the two ladies settled in for the duration.  We are now waiting for the river to crest and see what floods.  Oh by the way, it hasn't rained in three hours.  Hope this is the end of it.....
