*whistles* Closer then I thought.

I found a projection map of record flood stages for my area. SRBC Map Viewer if anyone's interested.

My block is perfectly fine.

Three blocks east of my house, Vestal Ave is projected to be covered if the rivers get to the 125% of record stage, which is possible.

I haven't heard any rain since I got up at about 7 am this morning, so I guess that's a good thing.

From MacArthur Park (one mile away) to Vine St. (4 blocks away) is the solid pink of "major flood stage" bordered by the light blue of "125% record"

This is...rather scary.

I am essentially cut off from the major roads out of the area. I would have to go over the hills to get anywhere and given how bad Endicott is, I don't expect to be called into work until Monday.

The children are bored.

I've got a headache, most likely from dehydration, even though I've drank about 24 oz of Gatorade.

I guess I'll give the kiddos the TV back. It keeps them occupied.

If you're near Macarthur Park, and it's raining, be careful what you do with your cake, because it took so long to bake it, and you'll never have the recipe again ...

Seriously, though, stay safe and dry!

It hasn't rained since last night and I'm a little over a mile away. We're fine.

Jurrasic park, on the other hand, is frightful when it's dark, or so sings a Mr. A. Yankovic.

I SAW those movies. I will never, ever go near a Jurassic Park. I don't care what the weather is.
