Flooding!

August and September are always rainy months and this year was no exception.  On Monday morning I drove to the dentist and it was pretty cloudy but not too rainy yet.  I had to run some errands and on my way home I got caught in flooding!  It was crazy!  Every road I tried to go down was either flooded or closed by the police.  It took about 45 minutes to get 6 miles.

Our house didn't flood but there were others in Ivins that did flood.  It's crazy to see this red river of water coming down the street.  I was very happy to get home when I finally did.

This is the view of Sunset as I was driving West.  I am in the center lane and the right lane was flooded out.  It was crazy!

This storm was the one that flooded and destroyed the road from St. George to Vegas around the Moapa area.  I couldn't believe it when I saw photos.  The poor semis that had deliveries had to go through Enterprise and around north-west to get to Vegas.  They have the road back opened but it took a week.

Don't mess with the rain!  And they are forecasting that we may get another storm soon.  We'll have to wait and see.
