Holy Cow, has it been raining like crazy here in Duluth! It started the night before last and yesterday as I was all cozy, comfy on the couch, watching the lightning and torrential rain I thought to myself, "This is nice. I wonder how long I could do this until I get sick of it?" The answer is one day. We live on a big hill miles above the Duluth hills so we weren't in any danger of getting flooded out, but the rain was coming down so hard that it started seeping into our basement because the water can't flow down the hill fast enough. We got six inches by last night (that's what she said). I got up early this morning because I was planning to go to a meeting downtown but my meeting was canceled because streets are flooded all over the place. I got on Facebook and some people were posting pictures:
I'm not sure all these pictures are about the flood. I got a little carried away stealing pictures. The Duluth Zoo got flooded and apparently some of the farm animals in the petting zoo drowned or escaped, and I also heard some snakes have escaped, and according to one of the pictures I posted, apparently a seal has escaped too. That would be weird. To go out and look at how flooded your ditches are and see a seal. The sun is starting to come out now so I am going to GO OUTSIDE!

I heard nothing else after "that's what she said".........
ReplyDeleteMe neither..:)
DeleteI was totally jealous to find out that you live in Duluth.. I have been there twice, and aside from that giant hill with the stop lights on every corner all the way down, the one where I thought the brakes on my Tempo were going to give out, I thought Duluth to be a lovely place.
ReplyDeleteSeeing these pics, I'm a little less jealous.
Also, Awesome people come from Minnesota.
Thanks! Duluth is usually a great place to live, except for yesterday and every January and February.
DeleteI like the last picture of the cat on the bike. It reminds me of Millie.
ReplyDeleteMillie can't ride a bike. She's only one year old. And she isn't a cat either, Amy. You are a terrible aunt.
DeleteMy Facebook mini-feed was flooded with these pictures today. (har har too soon?) But, wow! That seal one kind of really breaks my heart :( he doesn't look to be in a good way. Honestly, most of the pictures of the flooding are frightening.
ReplyDeleteThat poor seal was swimming across the road from the zoo when those pics were taken. He is being taken to the Como Zoo today along with the Polar bears. I'm glad the polar bears didn't escape.
DeleteOh, my! that looked pretty scary! (or is that what she said?)
ReplyDeleteEva, it was terrifying, and when it wasn't terrifying, it was boring. (That's what she said!)
Deletehahahahhahah!
ReplyDeleteYour flood made our papers. It looks awful. Stay dry.
ReplyDeleteLove the cat.
I saw some truly scary pictures today. Yikes.
