Inclement Weather

I think it's mostly immediate family members who read this blog, and all of you have heard our tornado tales already, so I won't recount all the details here. 

Around noon on Thursday, May 26th a tornado came through Bryan, wreaking havoc in the neighborhood adjacent to ours. The day was also filled with rain, lots and lots and lots of rain. As a result of the tornado we lost power for about 12 hours (though some went several days before their power was restored), and the rain resulted in crazy flooding in our area.

I just have a few pictures, which don't give a very accurate picture of what the situation was really like, but here you go anyway:

All the access roads leading to our neighborhood were either flooded out, or blocked by police because of tornado damage, so Russ ended up walking about a mile in the pouring rain to get home. He was trudging through a few feet of water at one point.

 The next two pictures were taken of roughly the same spot. The first was Thursday evening, the second was Saturday morning. It was unbelievable how entire fields were completely submerged.
