Our Flood

This morning I woke up at 5:30 to go for my walk and looked down the road to the South and could tell it was flooded, by 7:00 it was almost to our house, and by 9:30 it was a close to 3 feet from our house. Our garage was under water, most of the yard was under water, thankfully we are on a bit of a hill otherwise it would have been a lot worse for us.
Jeremy ended up walking to work ,at 11:30, and shortly after he left we go about 2 1/2 feet of water in the basement. Thankfully I had so great neighbors whose house was dry that came to help.
The water outside has gone down for the most part, our yard and garage are no longer under water. We currently have two pumps going in the basement and the water is still just above our ankles.
As I'm downloading pictures Jeremy says the water is out of the basement. I hope the weathermen our wrong and the rain they are calling for tonight misses us so we don't have more of a mess in the morning. Keep you fingers crossed.

The rest of these are from 9:30, it did get much closer to the one side of the house, I just don't have any pictures. The water started going down sometime after 12:30.
