This is the back of our camper.
See our new grill? It's sitting in water.
This is the road under water in front.
We are surrounded by water. The ground, as you can see here, is saturated. Mike stepped out on our rug and water just seeped up through it soaking his feet. Some people farther down the street could have water up to the bottom of their camper. We haven't been able to get out to see. But that is why we didn't reserve a lot farther down the street. We didn't want to take that chance of getting flooded inside our camper. The rain should stop sometime this afternoon but is still coming down off and on.
Mike and I had a fun and interesting night. We went to bed and read for a while. Then we both decided we still weren't sleepy and got back up. We finally went back to bed after midnight. We did get some sleep off and on.
Believe it or not, the DJ's never slowed down all night. They were still going this morning at 7:00. Fortunately for us, I brought ear plugs. You may make fun of me all you want about how much I pack to take with me and in our case, I did even bring the kitchen sink. But, lo and behold, we needed those earplugs. We actually used them last night when we went to bed. Then in the early morning hours, Mike got up and when he came back to bed, I was asking, "why are you trying to take all my covers?" He started laughing and turned on the light. He said, "You have to see this." I was hogging all the covers. I had them doubled up over me. So we both sat there and had a good laugh in the early morning hours.
We had planned to go to church this morning, but can't get out without sinking up in the wet ground. It's still raining and the water is still rising. It is under our camper and our leveling legs are now sitting in water. I don't know how this will affect the level of our camper before it's all said and done. The ground is rotten. Mike just walked out to the road in his flip flops and said down the street past us is all underwater. The street in front of us is under water. Lots of the campers in here are totally surrounded by water. If they step out their door, they're going under water up to their mid calf and maybe knees.
Out our back door.
Our neighbor texted us if we wanted to go swimming in our back yard pool. Mike responded "No, thanks, we're just chillin in our houseboat this morning."
Wait, weren't we thanking God for the rain because we thought it would shut down the music noise. I believe a lot of the seniors in this park were praying for rain for that very reason. OOPS! We got it. But the music went on and on and on and on.
Well, today, we're just sitting inside with our books and staying dry and hoping we don't float away. Next time, we will be careful what we wish for.
