So as most of you know we just bought our first home at the end of June. We are super excited and are having fun trying to get things the way we like them…not as easy as I thought it would be. So anyway, we have lived in our house about a month in a half when we heard Fay was coming our way. We weren’t to extremely worried, but wanted to take the correct precautions to keep us and our home safe and from damage. So when Brent got home from work he put the shutters up and went to get propane for our grill, while I tried to make sure we had anything we might need in order to have food, water, batteries, flash lights..all the essentials for hurricane weather. Even though Fay was just a Tropical Storm you never know what could change or happen. Not to mention we now have a little one to take care and make sure that he will be safe in whatever situation will happen. We were both off work for most of the week because of all the rain. Most of our town was flooded and by the last day our water rose up in our yard. We sat out in the garage and watched it rain and let Noah check everything out. We went to Larry and Kelly’s to visit with them and her sister, brother in law and twins were there from Lakeland. It was nice to spend some time with them since they rarely get to come over here. After we got home we relaxed at home and then the next day we were in for a surprise. Around 11a.m. we at lunch. I got up to clean up the kitchen and looked outside. I was shocked to see that the water was rising in our street and our ditches were all getting full. About an hour later out entire street was flooded and getting very close to coming up into our yard from the ditches. The neighborhood kids were playing out in the streets and one of the neighbors dressed up in full rain gear and let his dog play catch in all the water. At 11:30 I went to bed and the water had not went down at all. The next morning at 7a.m. it has completely drained and there was no water on our street at all. God truly took care of us during this storm. As we have been hearing about the 2 or three that are out in the ocean right now heading our way we pray for safety.
