There has been a lot of rain in NJ due to a nor'easter. We live near a dam and today there was a rather impressive amount of water flowing over the dam. There was also a rather impressive amount of water beneath the dam. I worry about the road washing away or about the dam breaking.That hasn't happened yet in all the years that we've lived here, but it is possible. 
My writer's mind has an unfortunate tendency to consider worst case scenarios. After all, it would make an excellent setting for a scary disaster story. But fiction is one thing and reality is another. There are communities here in NJ that are being evacuated today due to flooding. It seems to be a perpetual problem along the shore and along the rivers--wherever there are low-lying areas.
Hopefully, the rain will stop, the sun will come out, and the dam will hold up despite the great quantity of water spilling over it.

I've been thinking of you and Lita the past few days wondering if you're surviving the water and having to evacuate. Hope all is well.
Leann: My family and I are fine. Thanks for thinking of us. :^)
