FLASH FLOOD!!!

On Thursday we had a big storm hit us. Chase, Baylie and I were at a friends house doing some scout stuff and saw the storm coming. Baylie had a softball game (if the lightning didn't cancel it)later that night so we all had bets whether she would be playing or not. After the scout activity we loaded up and headed to town and as we got to the softball fields they called it off (my luck, drive to town just to drive home again).
On our way home past the prison we saw a lot of water coming off of one of the fields and over the road. It was a lot of water!!! About 1/2 of a mile up the road was another spot where the water was over the road. As we came to the top of the hill just before you turn to come up to our house I had to stop, I wasn't sure if I was going to make it going home that way. As I got closer I could see we would be okay so I hurried home to get my camera because the water looked like a white water rafting adventure could possibly take place there. The water coming off of the road and down the field sounded like a waterfall. I grabbed my camera and went to take pics but it had calmed down considerably by the time I got back there. So the pics are only part of what there was.
