Waiting

Waiting: to remain inactive until something unexpected happens - Webster Dictionary.
I do not think that this was UNEXPECTED!

I took this picture this morning on the way to school and work. I am sitting my van in my driveway...its raining again.

My neighbors moved last night. The water has forced them out. They have been waiting. This water on the rise was not something unexpected. I wonder why they did not try to sandbag? Try to save their home? I know it's not a good picture, the rain got in my way.

This house is further up the road and further away from the River...This house always has a pristine yard, this couple works so hard to keep their home beautiful. No Sandbags

The top picture (taken this morning) is the deepest point on the watering pivot in the cotton field on my road. I took a picture of this same pivot last week. The bottom picture is last week.


I do not understand why these people did nothing to even try to save their homes. I know they saw the water coming just like I did. I watched them, "watch" the water every afternoon.

This waiting for the water to cross the road has not bothered my nerves too much, until this morning...I really might not be able to get home today or tomorrow...Tim says we will have to ride home in his fishing boat (Tim being funny) HELLO...THE BOAT IS UP THERE WITH THE HOUSE...HOW WILL HE GET THE BOAT? I'm thinking hotel. Unless any of my friends have a helicopter they could let me use.
