Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

It has been a crazy last few days. The weather has gone nuts. Saturday into Sunday the area had 7-14 inches of rain. Massive flooding, roads washed out, damage because of water all over the place. 

Thankfully I personally only had minor issues. Some flowers knocked over, slight water seepage in the basement. The primary sump pump and when needed the secondary pump were able to keep up. I didn't lose power but I do have a house backup power system. You can see it in the lower left of the picture. 

I only have to go to very local places the next few days. Otherwise I will stay home and let things settle down.  

The flowers, likely knocked over when the rain gutter on the house overflowed in the heavy rain. I have to work to get them upright, but it has been too wet.  

A still shot of the fancy waterfall in town. Video is below. 

One of our flooded streets and below the river which is just behind the trees on the right side. About a mile from my house, but I know people who live just a block from where the road is closed. 

Video of the falls and just down stream later that day they had to rescue two people.  More links to TV news ABC and NBC and FOX and CBS. 

  On to the books! Staying home means lots of reading time. 

The Lost Bookshop three strangers and a magical bookshop on Ha'penny Lane in Dublin. 

There's Nothing Wrong with Her a fictional account of chronic, undiagnosed illness, struggling with life and relationships. Didn't get into this one and didn't finish. 

The Life Impossible, Grace is a 72 year old widow, retired match teacher in the UK. She is willed a small cabin on the island of Ibiza from a former colleague. Her friend may have died under suspicious circumstances and Grace is determined to find out how her friend died. 

 

 Happy Reading.
