Get Me A Bucket....

 Here are some cars in the school parking lot. The owers of these cars went on a trip with their children. The park in Tipton has flooded many times as Cicero creek run through it. The school is near the park.
Many home have water in them. Breaks my heart for those people. Here I was going crazy, because the basement had some water . We learned when we first moved here, our basement is close to the natural water level. So we piggy backed two pumps in the sump pit. Plus we have a submersible pump as a back up. If we ever need it, we put a hose out the basement window, the hose then goes to the fence. But it is still a bother. I will count my blessings today. We are better off than the people nearer to the creeks. We are to have 2 days of sunshine, before any more rain. Hope all of you are dry.  Oh, by the way, these photos are from our tv.:):) Didn't want you think I had a chopper. xoxo

  3. Oh NO!
    I have been hearing about the flooding in the Midwest on the BLOGS... With the terror in Boston, the news wasn't able to focus on the natural disasters this week...I know that Jenn Rizzo's basement was flooded too! Thank goodness you were prepared with a pump!

    It has been pouring rain since Easter weekend. We have landslides and avalanches out here!

    Wishing you sunshine!
