Flooding




Today is Brandon's birthday!!! Happy Birthday Bran! We went to Starbucks for breakfast and then to Lowes to get some French doors made for Eli's room. My parents will be glad to know that Brandon found a guitar pedal that he wanted more than the tattoo. Tomorrow we're going out to eat with some of my cousins and brother too. We have had over 10 inches of rain in a 24 hour period. Our basement is dry because we have an awesome dehumidifier, but our roof had some issues. We had a leak by the back door that actually had water dripping and several water spots in our bedroom. The river by our house is very high, but it will never flood because of the huge ditch that surrounds Wichita for just this kind of thing! I took some pictures of the river and the big ditch. Many people's houses are flooded and one man died when trying to drive through a flooded street. Everything should start receding soon, and there isn't any rain in the forecast this week.
