Rain, and Wind, and Tornadoes... OH MY!!

Stuck in the bathroom... waiting out the potential tornado!
Driveway... or maybe now a shallow lake??!!
Chad's feet in the parking lot, water is about 2 in deep - uhhh, gross!!
Maintenance people checking out the damage.

Well Tropical Storm Fay blew through Jacksonville this week, with the most volatile part of the storm coming through today!

We got quite a bit of rain overnight, and unfortunately woke up to some leaking in our apartment. No damage, thank goodness, but was annoying to keep up with ensuring all is kept dry until our maintenance people can get out and fix it. Even more unfortunate, is that it seems the leaking is coming through the roof and down into the sides of the wall both upstairs and downstairs. So... we'll see what happens, but for now it is a bit worry some.

So being stuck in the house can be quite boring, and that's been the case for the past three days. I think that the kids finally had enough when we had to go into full TORNADO warning mode and pile into the hallway bathroom on the first floor (see picture). That's right, we had a tornado sighting about 10 mi south of our apartment complex - which was actually quite scary! We gathered up a few pillows, blankets and our cell phones and camera (not a necessity... but how can we NOT capture that action), and hid out for about 15 minutes. The best part of our close family time together was Kenny's comment about 5 minutes in... he said "Mom, can't we get some food or something?". Guess I should have prioritized that over the camera! Lesson learned :)

Enjoy the pictures from the storm rain aftermath... and hope everyone is doing well!
