And then it rained

And rained. Yesterday we had a nice morning, we woke up did our usual things around the house and then headed out to the zoo. It looked a little like rain but it was a great day to go, there was hardly anyone there so we were able to see everything we wanted. It rained a little while we were there but it worked out perfectly. We came home and as Chance napped in his room, Scott and I napped in the living room. It started raining again, after a while we heard our neighbors outside talking but we were both trying to ignore them and get our nap in while we could then Scott heard one of them say they were afraid to try and move the car. That was when he knew he had to look outside.
Turns out our street was totally flooded. It was up over the curb onto the sidewalk and right at the bottom seam of the doors on our car. It is amazing how quickly the water came up, it went from sprinkling to two feet of water in the road within two hours and I can totally see how easy it would be to be stuck in a flood. At the point we woke up both of our cars were useless so we would have already been walking out if the water had kept coming up. Thankfully it did not, soon after we woke up the water finally started to drain. We were worried about our car but other than shooting a lot of water out of the exhaust it seems to be ok, our neighbors car took on some water but will be ok too.
After all that and since it was still raining a bit we built a fort inside with a sheet and chairs for Chance. He enjoyed it as much for getting under as he did for rolling his cars around on top.
