We've been having a storm system passing through our area this weekend. We woke up this morning surrounded by water! Yesterday we got about 11 inches and it is still raining off and on to add to that. Also have wind with gusts up to 30 mph. We lost power for several hours this A.M. and for a short time this P.M. Airboats come in handy when there's flooding and we heard some out and about this morning. The Carroll House is built on a raised foundation so there was water under the house also!!
The one bright spot in our rainy Saturday was a visit from our good friends, Todd & Julie Bangerter, from St. Petersburg! He is the new Bishop in St Pete Ward.

This is a reminder to be prepared! After all, "it wasn't raining when Noah built the ark!"
