The good news is we still have electricity and our house and street aren't flooded.
I have promised myself I am not going to utter one complaint as long as my lights are on.
We've gotten 12.3 inches of rain in 12 hours. (I'm looking on the internet at that total, my dad is saying The Weather Channel is saying our area has gotten 15.)
And since I love a good flourish to a story and you may not believe me, I'll quote Jason, "I've never seen rain like this."
It's still raining, but it's not just pounding us like it did all night. (Update: I waked away from writing this to talk on the phone and it's raining in sheets again.)
We aren't getting wind and the lighting was only bad for about an hour last night.
Our pool overflowed, but I'm embarrassed to even mention it compared to what people are going through. Just information on how much rain we've gotten.
School is canceled at least Monday and Tuesday. Again, not going to complain. I don't really want to leave the house.
The bad news is that Houston is under water. We have friends with water in their houses and have lost both cars.
The really bad news, we've got a couple more days of this.

If you are an out of state reader, our closest bayou (maybe two or three miles) is "Buffalo Bayou at Voss and San Felipe", you'll probably see it on the news.
For a family update: Granny Sherry is in North Carolina visiting her friend so she is safe (and in the best place possible!), Grandpa Gary and Granny Buffie are about like us, and my parents are getting rain, but not the heavy rain like we are.
