So, "Hurricane", "Tropical Storm", and "Tropical Depression" Fay hit Tallahassee this weekend. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE a good storm. It seems that I can get my best sleeping done in the middle of a storm, but for cryin' out loud...Could Fay have lasted any longer?
I got some pretty good (but, shaky) video of the waterfalls that were in our yard. It looks like we live in the mountains because of all of the water. It just happens that we are in the middle of a very large hill, and all of the water comes through us to get to the bottom of the hill. It's either that, or our neighbors have their gutters pointed at our house (which could easily be the reason).
It rained a total of 22 inches in Tallahassee, last I heard. The water poured down our yard like this in the video for over a day. Yes, that's a TON of water.
Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel, a.k.a. Beth's boyfriend (tee hee), visited us in Tallahassee this weekend. It's always been said that if Jim comes to town, you need to leave.
Watch how much water there is when it "POURS" over my toes!!!
We love you, Jim - - -
We just don't want to see you in Tallahassee for quite some time!

I DO want to see Jim in Tally soon - just not to cover any weather! He needs to come see me...
It sucks that I missed all the action! The one time we actually get a storm and it happens to be the weekend I planned to go to Tampa!! Not that I didn't have a wonderful time down there, or regret in any way going, but... grrrrrrr! AND I MISSED JIM COMING TO TOWN!!!! *sniff* I've been in love with Jim for over 10 years now, and I missed him being here in town! Guess that's fate's way of making sure I get to go on my cruise next month - I'd for sure have been thrown in the slammer if I'd come anywhere near Jim. ;P Can't afford bail AND my cruise...
disclaimer: no disrespect to anyone who had damage as a result of this storm - I am just a sucker for crazy weather... and Jim Cantore.
Oh my goodness gracious!!!!!!! you poor thing, it looks like your house is in a Costa Rican rainforest!!!! I hope you dry out soon. Great footage!
