Land ahoy?

It's still raining. There are bands coming in from the ocean.
I don't have water in the apartment as far as I can tell. There may be some around the edges, but I haven't seen it. Knock on wood.

I talked to my brother in the woods. He told me he was ok and on high ground. I asked him for his definition of high ground in a monsoon. Then he told me that in ye olden dayes, the cows and mules were keot where his house is when it flooded. I told him that in ye olden dayes they didn't get this much water and he ain't got no cows and horses. The roads are out. He does seem ok.

This is much worse than Hugo. The extent of the damage won't be known until the water recedes if then. The water from the streams and rivers also has to flow down to the coast. The rivers won't reach flood stage until later in the week.

The whole state is flooded. The midlands, the NE and the coast got the worst of it. This is awful.

I have changed my cats' names to Friday and Friday Night.
