here we flood again

Yes, what I was afraid of here, did happen. Our street is flooded. Just a few inches above gutter-level. Neighbors say it's waist-deep outside our village (hope the families in that area are okay!)... so we're stuck at home.

Isabella and Noah were getting really antsy after being cooped up in the house for 2 days so I eventually allowed them to wade in the flood on our street. In Plueys, of course!

And I gave very strict instructions...

... not to run or jump. The kids had to drag their feet slowly as they walked up...

and down...

our flooded street. (ocmominmanila, don't worry. we scrubbed ourselves well in the bath after... just in case some floodwater splattered on us and we just didn't notice.)

I really hope the flood subsides tonight... Largely because the kids enjoyed wading in the water so much, they were pestering me all afternoon to go back out to our flooded street! I think Noah secretly wishes the flood doesn't subside...

once upon a flood

This was  how it looked during the last big flood. Fortunately, our house didn't get flooded. But it was flooded on our street for weeks.

Except (it wasn't that picturesque and) we didn't have a boat.

So we were stuck in our house for a while... on the second floor, from where this photo was taken.

Really hope the rain lets up because I'm really terrified of another big flood.

Stay safe, everyone!

Today, I am un-loving...

Today, I am un-loving... the poor pedestrians I passed today with broken umbrellas. As I drove to work this stormy morning, practically every pedestrian I passed had a deformed umbrella brought about by the awfully strong winds. I felt sooo, sooo bad for them. :(

I really hope tomorrow will be better. Because today, I was majorly un-loving... the wind-blown umbrellas on the road.
