Rain, Rain, Rain

We had the craziest storm two nights ago. I've never heard thunder last so long and seen so much lightning. It really affected neighboring counties with the death toll up to 6 now and some areas were evacuated. We got a little flooding down the street outside our home but nothing near the house, thankfully. You can see all the pictures and video on Dan's blog: http://danchanmd.blogspot.com/2007/08/floating-down-street-in-flood-water.html. Today, however, the street is all cleared up and I was able to take Dan to school without taking the back road. The forecast has more rain in store for the next few days still, but so far it seems like we'll be okay. There are some people out my window that are working on something with the neighboor's rain gutter, so it looks like our condo association here is taking all precautions. Crazy stuff. Our first taste of Minnesota rain.
