Hurricane thoughts, part 2

Quick summary of today: It could have been worse. But it was still pretty bad.

Here on the home front, we got a whole ton of rain but no lost power. We could stock our backyard with trout and probably go kayaking; that’s how much water we have back there. Yikes! But … no tree limbs down as of this writing (although the wind is picking up pretty good right now). Basement is a bit wet, but in all it could have been much worse.

Reports from campus were not as pretty. Students were evacuated due to flooding in several locations on campus. One student-athlete’s car was flooded to the point of almost being submerged.

But the rain abated rather quickly in the early afternoon, and Coach Chuck reported that several women’s team members gathered for an informal practice and Sunday run. Didn’t think that would be possible today.

The forecast for the upcoming week is looking rather nice – good weather for drying out, getting power back and hopefully getting back to normal in these parts.
