If I hadn't been convinced that getting flood insurance was a good idea already, I would be after yesterday's rains. It rained heavily for about an hour, and then later began to drizzle. Within maybe 20-30 minutes of the rain starting, water was running up over the sidewalks and ponds were forming in the yards. Cars were stalled out (or in some cases floating) on local streets, and the freeway was flooded. I'm thinking it might be good to add some water shoes to our emergency bin. And I wonder if car insurance covers damage due to flooding?
In this instance there was a sort of carnival atmosphere to things — people playing in the street, etc. but just that brief downpour caused quite a bit of damage for some people. Thanks to my husband for the pics.
