My pond runneth overJust for the record Saturday, September 13, 2008 was a record day in Chicago. The most rainfall in any day in our history. My rain gauge was overflowing at 6 plus inches. Some areas were flooded and received over 7 . This is of course compliments of Hurricane Ike.
Rain is falling again today and I'm beginning to get stir crazy and so are my dogs who like me are used to going out for a walk.
My little rant is trivial compared to the devastation Ike left in Texas. My heart and prayers go out to those folks who lost their lives and homes.

Hi Carolyn, Our rain gauge overflowed at over six inches here too. We had some water in the basement, but no damage. I hope you had no damage at your house.
ReplyDeleteGood grief, Carolyn! Just checkin' in to make sure you haven't foated away. We had flood warnings today but looks like 'The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow'! Sending good weather your way ...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're okay, Carolyn - we've seen photos online so have an idea how widespread the rain was. Hope you get out for a walk soon!
