Swim in an indoor pool, yes, but my days of street swimming are long gone now that I know about all the debris that washes into the road. Blech, I won't swim in an outdoor pool after a good rain let alone this lunacy. <br />It is a horrible thing and you can say two lives were saved, but, awful business. <br />Oh noooo, they didn't reschedule and my 80-year-old aunt got stuck in it, had to hitchhike home in a monsoon and wait until 4 am (at home at least) for them to call her back about a tow. Glad she didn't go back there to stay with her car as AAA told her to.Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823269912693006949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483272378351524583.post-71727711802292706602018-08-28T17:03:25.216-05:002018-08-28T17:03:25.216-05:00I'm answering comments backwards so it seems t...I'm answering comments backwards so it seems to be working out well for both of us. <br />Luck, luck, luckity, luck, lucky is all I can say. I could have easily been in any of the places that flooded and gotten stuck, lost my only car, apartment or worse. No flood damage on this street that I know of although I'm betting the storage room in the basement is soaked but that's not unusual.

I can't think of a better time to swim though, in for a penny, in for a pound! It is so sad that someone lost their life, it just shows how disorientating bad weather can be. Your cousins were right to reschedule (or to try to at least).<br /><br />Thank you for linking up with #keepingitreal.<br /><br />xx<br />Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933494199087059715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483272378351524583.post-71512558199136014072018-08-26T14:05:10.819-05:002018-08-26T14:05:10.819-05:00Oh good lord.
