Happy July 4th/Flash Flood

Today was a pretty good day for a holiday even though I spent pretty much the entire time studying. But nevertheless I did go outside to enjoy the beautiful weather and play with the twins in the pool. We were all just hanging out in the nice weather and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere came these huge dark clouds. We gathered everything up and went inside. As soon as we went in, the clouds just broke and it started POURING rain and hail. It was so insane and fast- the water rose at least six inches within the first two minutes. The rain didn't stop and the water kept getting higher and higher. It made me nervous because I didn't really know what to do in a flood. We are pretty lucky our house is built on a hill pretty high up, or else there would have been flooding in the basement for sure. But here are some pictures I took with my phone as I was watching the storm. After that was over, of course I went back to my study dungeon, but after it got dark, Kendall, Cindy, and I climbed on our roof and watched the fireworks. We had a pretty good view and we were close to home. Tomorrow I head to Sheridan for the weekend- my friend Shebli is getting married and I'm going to help them prepare. Yay!!!
