flood

I've had dreams about floods and saving children from drowning lately. It has been raining pretty much non-stop in this part of the world for the last two months. The river in our city is inching up day by day, getting closer to spilling over the banks. The last time that happened was ten years ago, only weeks before I moved to this town. Along the freeway on the way to Seattle we saw many areas under water - boarded up houses, abandoned factories, flooded plains. Hopefully the rain will stop soon before our city floods.
