Rain Rain Go Away...

We woke up this morning to Dawn calling us for a shop vac. Her downstairs had flooded last night during the rain storm. We got up took showers, had breakfast, and loaded stuff up. We headed to Dawn's house around 10am. Rylee was glad to see her mommy D. The basement was a mess. Water had soaked the carpet and had at one time been 4 or 5 inches deep. Beth began using the shop vac and I sat with Rylee up stairs. Dawn went to get a second vac. Beth had already removed 25 gallons and had made a small dent in the process. Dawn returned home just in time to leave again. She has been trying to take her test and it keeps getting cancelled. I fed Rylee lunch and she went down for a nap. I ran out to WAWA for hoagies for us. We were able to get the gate up for Dawn so Sydney, the dog, could be separated from Rylee when needed. Dawn returned home only to tell us her test was cancelled again. She will try again on Monday. Jo came home around 4pm from her training in Philly all week. She was not to upset about the water, but what can you really do. We left around 5pm. I headed home to clean and Beth went to see her dad. I was kinda lonely without Rylee, but she is with her mommies and loving it. We did have water in out basement. but no too bad. We have a drain that most of it ran into. Only a few things got wet. We had about 10 inches of rain in 24hours. The ground could not soak up any more. At least it was sunny today, but all the rivers are running high. I did read a lot of the malls had flooding also. We are glad that storm has passed. We will sleep late in the morning and then finish cleaning house and packing. We leave Sunday morning for Disney and can't wait to get there.
