But I’ll show you the flooded backyard anyways :) This is low lying wetland, so its expected to fill up .. but this is the fullest we’ve ever seen it.

This is from the corner of the house, where we tie the dogs out

Those of you who have been here might be able to recognize some of these shots. We have no downed trees, no shingles scattering through the yard or any real debris really. I took a walk out to get the mail and its the same story for all my neighbors, luckily. We lost our power for about 3 hours today but its back for now. 

I’ve got 2 beers in the freezer cooling off, some sweet potato fries in the oven .. things are much better now that the power is back on :) We have a nice break in the action for a bit .. but I can see things building out over the water .. could be heading this way soon. 

I’ve been updating twitter when I can’t get online .. so feel free to follow me and get all my updates!!

Hope everybody stays dry!
