Yesterday was our first day of preschool, but it got overshadowed a bit.
Tropical Storm Lee hit us pretty hard in Central Pennsylvania yesterday! And it’s still raining. The roads were flooding all day yesterday & it was getting pretty insane. People were being evacuated from their houses, some even by boat! The schools closed early, but a lot of the buses couldn’t get the kids home because of all the road closures & a mudslide on the highway. Eddie’s boss’s son got stuck in his high school, they weren’t letting the kids out or the parents in to come get them. The zoo even had to euthanize two bison because they were drowning and couldn’t be moved in time. 🙁
They are saying this is the worst flooding around here since the 1970’s.
Here are a few pictures that some of my local friends posted on Facebook.
And this is a picture I took of a yard down the street from us (This was at 10am, it only got worse.)
Our house and family are fine so far (fingers crossed) but it might be a while before things get back to normal around here. Eddie did go in to work today because the road he takes was clear, but the schools are closed and police are asking everyone to stay home if they can.
It’s a Disney movie marathon day for me and the kids here today. I hope Nick gets to go back to preschool tomorrow. (Abby doesn’t go on Fridays.)
