Even though some of the worst flooding in Melrose is a block away, we're fine

[xiphias]

Right down the hill, the parking lot of the supermarket has eight inches of water in it. In the parking lot of the condominiums next to it, there are cars in water over their tires. Apartment buildings nearby are being evacuated, and there have been sporadic reports of plumbing backing up in disgusting ways.

None of this has, however, directly affected our home, baruch Hashem, and knock on wood. We're at the top of the hill where all this is happening at the bottom. We may be the only people in Massachusetts on my friends list who don't need a sump pump. If anyone is flooded out, bring over a sleeping bag -- we can probably give you a dry spot to sleep in.

PLEASE, SEND THE RAIN OUR WAY!!!! Here in Fl. we have only had 1.5 inches of rain in the last 2 or 3 months. The fires on the East Coast have been so bad that I-95 has been shut down in spots for weeks now due to smoke. So, feel free to send the rain down here! Thanks :)

There will be rain today! I'm pretty sure. :)

(btw, where are you? I'm in Sanford, and I should meet a friend of Ian who lives down here. :)

Holy God, you're Leila. *blinks*

I met you once, long ago.

*friends you immediately*

Yeah, we had some nice rains today, but not enough to put out the fires completely... just contain them... But, it's been a nice lazy day and *shocked* no lightning strikes! So that's good.

Also, I live in Winter Springs near the Oviedo Marketplace. :)

mmm, today was beautiful. :)

Okay, we have to go out for dinner or something at least. When's good for you?
