We've had a little rain in the last few days, and our entire county is flooding. One town has been evacuated as a dam threatens to break. My #2 and #3 monsters have been helping fill sand bags for the last few hours, and we've been glued to all the "Breaking News" bulletins.
So, because of all the drama and trauma with the weather here, today is officially a "stick with your family and watch the news" day.
Here's the latest from ksl.com with our situation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the citizens of Rockville who have been evacuated. We'll update here as well, whenever there are changes.
The good news, however, is that Christmas vacation started early for the monsters, since the high school is flooded. They weren't due out until Wednesday afternoon. They are, understandably, thrilled with that part. The students and the boy scouts, as well as many many townspeople are filling sandbags and working with crews to battle the water. Farm tractors are driving up and down our street , helping wherever they are needed.
This is wild. That's just all there is to it.

Oh my goodness! We'll definitely say a prayer for your community! I can't imagine dealing with that in the midst of sll the usual craziness of this time of year. Hope things settle down soon and you get a break in the weather.
