Flash flooding!

I have never seen flash flooding like I saw in Manchester tonight. I was driving Megan to a party and as we got into Manchester we were slowed by extremely heavy rain. The water running down hill next to us was scary but when we got past our old house and saw the flooding ahead, I didn't know what to do. The car ahead of me decided to go so I followed, which was probably not the brightest move. The water was literally up to our windows as we tried to speed through. I started screaming and was overcome with panic. At the next intersection, we floated around the corner. I continued driving as the kids stared in awe out the windows. We saw people walking with the water past their knees and one even past his waist, cars stalled out all over and roads closed. I ended up chickening out and turning around to head home. You would think after living in FL for 5 years that I would be used to hurricanes, but the power of water never ceases to amaze me!

In only slightly less scary news, Victoria has started driver ed! Ironically she has the same instructor as I had when I was a student at Pinkerton. I guess her teacher keeps calling her Rachael because he thinks she looks like me. LOL I drove with her for an hour earlier this week. She didn't do too badly, but she did have a tenancy to hug the side of the road which completely freaked me out. It's hard to believe I am going to have to let her go more than 35 MPH at some point! LOL

The party is definitely still on for tomorrow! Hope to see some of you here after 4pm!
