"Just Keep Swimming..."

As sung by Dori, the blue fish in Finding Nemo, this meoldy has been creeping into my mind quite a bit these last few days, and if you have a look at this picture, you'll know why.

Our nice neighbors, who we call the Tony's because we can never remember their last names, have lived next door in our neighborhood for more than 30 years. Tony and "Mrs. Tony" tell us that they haven't seen storms/flooding like this since one of the very first years they lived in their home-- 28 years ago!
Something's up....

We had our second flood in 4 days last night, and had another long night/early morning cleaning up what we in Indiana call "day-bree"-- debris for you out-of-towners. Snapped some more picts as the water went down. My super husband rolled up his sleeves, and waded into the muck to unclog the storm sewer with some of our neighbor friends around 6am, just in time for an empty Buick to float by…. The owner later came swimming after it, but that’s another story. Here are some shots; I’m off to bed. Please JESUS no more rain! :)

Below-- the Marathon station in B-Ripple rocked by winds; our driveway-- see the little pumps working overtime?; video taken as the water went down
