We've had a little rain

Yesterday, early in the morning, before we were fully awake, Laura drove me to the bus stop at the Community College. As we were driving down the road I looked up and saw that the road in front of us was flooded. I yelled for Laura to stop, which she did just in time. The Moravian Creek had overflowed its banks across the road. We drove slowly through it and made it to the other side but when we got down to the college, the bus stop and the big campus park where we walk Leo was under 4 or 5 feet of water. The bus had to stop at the edge of campus which was now the Wilkes Community College Lake. Meghan and Elizabeth probably remember the road because they stayed at the hotel on it - the dry end.

When I rode the bus home we could see that the bridge over the Yadkin River had developed cracks and the police were routing traffic around them. That is right at the exit off 421 to our house, which is only two blocks away (up on a good size hill fortunately).

Here is the news story about it.
