The Water Bowl: Flooding

Flooding

All this week it has rained off and on. Today...whoa! I am extremely lucky because my neighborhood didn't have any damage, but all around my neighborhood did. Here are some pictures of the flooding throughout the city. These pictures were uploaded from citizens and sent in to the local television station. (I do not own the rights to these pictures, nor am I taking credit for them.) This is a lot of water...

Christine-- It really is scary. The ground was already saturated and then 10 inches falling in just about 2 hours. The drainage system couldn't handle it. Created a mess.

Wow, that's impressive. I think the photo of the glass doors holding up against the flood is the most impressive. What a mess. I bet the mosquitoes are having a blast now.

NotSoAngryRedHead--That is my favorite one. When I start thinking about it, I think there are a few more bugs than normal, but this is the south so sometimes it's hard to tell.

The Water Bowl

Welcome to The Water Bowl Blog! This blog is about my life as it pertains to my three dogs (Hope, Prada, and Louie), my one fish (Dr. Feel), my attempts at cooking, and a little bit about my life. Feel free to add comments and recommend blogs that you think I would enjoy.

Hope goes by the name of Hope (that is whenever she can hear you). She is almost deaf and blind but she is still a wonderful dog. However, her condition has resulted in me having to buy more windex to clean the floor to ceiling windows which she always mistakes as an open door. Bless her heart.

Prada also goes by the name of Girl. She's suppose to be a Long-Haired Chihuahua, but she has a little bit of a weight problem and is now almost the size of a Boston Terrier.

Louie also goes by the name of Mister. He and Prada are brother and sister. He, like his sister, is almost three years old. However, he still hasn't masterd the art of peeing on things besides himself. He goes to raise his leg up but for some reason always does a hand-stand, which results on him peeing on himself...all the time.

Dr. Feel is a Beta Fish. I've had him for almost a year. He doesn't do much but swim around, but that's alright with me.
