Rain Rain Rain

I think we must be catching up for the lack of rain the last couple of years. I don't know if your near me, but its not quit raining here. Well, it'll be beautiful for a little bit, but then its back to thunderstorms and lots of rain.

Last night, we were in Greenville and headed home around 9:30pm. It was ugly outside, I tell ya. Well once we were 1 mile on the road, I swear we were seeing a tornado. It was right over the trees and it was huge. You could see when the lightening hit it, the clouds were dipped down like a funnel would be. It may not have really been one, but it sure looked like it and the wind had crazily picked up. So Shawn floored it after passing a cop, go figure, and we got outta there. No, we didn't get stopped. The cop was in front of us and had pulled over to turn around. So we floored it after that. But we passed an awful wreck. There's a part on the interstate that is obviously floodable, and there was a small section that was flooded, and anyone passing through at normal interstate speeds would go flying. There were like 3-4 cars over in the ditch because they had hit that water. It was bad. I'm glad we slowed down. That was really dangerous.

I tell ya, I love watching storms from my window at home or front porch or garage, but not in the car. Its kinda scary. But anyway, I'm not complaining about all this rain, cause Lake Hartwell is almost filled back up after being so low for so long. I know alot of homeowners are very happy right now, especially those whose docks have been burried in mud for the last two years. And we can actually walk down to the lake and fish without having to wrestle with weeds and stuff. I can't wait to walk down there to see how high the water has come : )
