Eeeep! My goodness... the rain outside is like, well if insanity was a tangible thing. It's CRAZY and LOUD and leaking through my door o_0 ...ZENCAT left the apt at 7:30 to get us some Thai food and he's not returned yet. He called, said the streets were flooded; he had to get in his car by crawling through the passenger size door. He said it looks like the mailboxes and everything are floating in water. I'm scared to even look outside. I mean, open the door and there's a waterfall that comes down right into my apartment! And there's this car just broken down in the middle of my street and no one can get by! John sqeeeezed by... hee hee. Ankle deep water! You don't understand it's psycho!
