Well I thought by moving away from Houston I was getting away from tropical storms and hurricanes. Apparently this is not the case though, they are chasing me. Yesterday and today we had a huge amount of rainfall from Tropical Store Hermine (pronounced "her mine" not "her mine e" like Harry Potter). As I learned from Tropical Storm Allison and a few others in Houston, tropicalstorms drop a HUGE amount of rain. Between all of these bands of storms we got around 6.25 and 6.5 inches of rain in less than 36 hours! This means huge flooding in the area and it was really cool to see so close. I should say it's cool for me because all of my stuff is fine but that's not the same for everyone. The pool in my parents' backyard almost overflowed!
I thought I would share some pictures take by Dad and I. These are right by our house along Pool Road.
