Its going to rain again tomorrow. They are predicting it to be torrential. This has been the wettest winter I can remember. Water is still standing everywhere from the ice storm this past weekend, and the downpour that lasted all day on Tuesday. Honestly, I don't see where anymore of this wet stuff is going to go. Its a little unsettling, because I lived here back in 1999 when we had some serious flooding. Luckily we are on high enough ground that we didn't get hit with that kind of devastation. But there was no electricity, gas pumps, ATM's, trucks coming in to restock grocery stores, and worst of all.....gasp....restaurants were all closed because the water supply was contaminated. No ice, no way to wash dishes...I almost had to cook. Yikes! I hope it doesn't come to that. Maybe just having these few days between each storm will give it time to soak up and not overfill the Tar river.
And while all this rain is awful, Erica is forecasted to get up to 28 inches of snow this weekend. What the heck is going on? I would be eternally grateful if you all would just send us some happy thoughts to get us through until spring. Stay warm, stay dry, and have a nice weekend!
