[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 222931, member: 3444"] Well, they lifted the evacuation for our neighborhood this afternoon. It poured until about noon and then let up considerably. If we get another band of heavy showers, though, some folks a few streets over will be in a lot of trouble. On one street, they have barricades and sandbags piled up and mud/debris came within a foot of the top of the dam they created! If this turns out to be a wet winter, I told husband we'll just have to keep a backpack ready with a change of clothes and toiletries for everyone. I just threw all the medications in a grocery bag this morning but it took a while to round up clothing for everyone. We just planned to stay at a Holiday Inn Express nearby and hoped they'd offer a discounted rate because of the evacuation, since that's what they did for us with the fires. Unfortunately, this time it would not be covered by insurance since we don't have flood insurance (never occurred to me living on a hill!) Just now it started raining hard again -- our skylights are getting pelted good. Hopefully it won't last long. One good thing is that difficult child 2's basketball practice is cancelled for tonight, so maybe I can drag our tree in from the garage and start putting it up! I am SOOOO behind on the holiday decorations!!! [/QUOTE]
