I Always Wanted A House On A Lake.......
What would bring Colon Blow out of an over one year blog retirement to blog again? The Great Flood Of September 2008!
These pictures were taken outside of our home today. We have been living here since April of 1994 and have never seen our street flood like this before. Some of our neighbors that have been living here for a lot longer tell us that they have seen this happen before, but I get a different date, decade, etc., from each one of them as to when that was.
It has been raining for over 24 hours, and according to our neighbor Lois we have received over 8 inches of rain (she left her empty garbage can open, and measured it with a yardstick...good enough scientific methodology as far as I am concerned).
Good news is we have not lost power and are only experiencing some foundation seepage. Bad news is what is left of Hurricane Ike is headed our way tomorrow. Stay tuned for further developments!

Woah! That's quite a bit of water... I'd consider renting a boat for the coming days...
Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to your next post in...
...December, 2009!
