When It Rains It Pours











Literally!!! I have never seen so much rain. It began raining here in Wichita yesterday around 2:00 pm and I don't think it has let up yet. Since midnight we have gotten almost 8 inches of rain (according to the 5:00 news). These photos were all taken from areas within about 5 miles of our house in various directions.

Around 10:00 this morning the district offices announced that we would be releasing early. Everyone was excited until we read further down in the message that it was at 3:00 (which is only about an hour early). It took us nearly an hour to get home from school and there was only one way into my neighborhood by late this afternoon. Currently almost all of the major west side intersections are under 2-3 feet of water. I can't imagine what it will be like if the rain continues to fall like it has been forecasted too.
