Never lived where there was that much rain. Lived in Port Aransas once when I was in 2nd grade and we did have a flood there. Everyone pretty much left town and when we came back, lots of water.bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-89564383633809856462012-06-06T08:06:04.824-04:002012-06-06T08:06:04.824-04:00This is serious business, Vee, I will be praying f...This is serious business, Vee, I will be praying for relief from all that rain.

We spend lots of time in Maine so I have been watching the weather stories. My daughter is in Lewiston. The Androscoggin flooded in some areas, I heard, but she is fine too. Moving water is so much stronger than people realize! Let's hope for some pretty and sunny days coming soon.

We've been in a scorching drought for several years now, so much so that I had honestly forgotten what it was like to have to carry an umbrella and have days of rain.
