Post a CommentThe "house surrounded by water" shots were spooky. I would freak out if i saw my house flooded in like that!
Great photos, teammate!
The lucky part about all of the flooding is that within a couple days, the water was gone. Now we sit and hope for rain again, just not so much at one time.
And dammit... the pool was clean yesterday! :(
