Last night's storm packed quite a punch!! I hope that everyone is safe and sound and dry this morning!!
Dan was supposed to be off yesterday but he got called back in around 5 because the flooding in Denton was so bad. He didn't get back home until midnight. He said that they were super busy with lots of water rescues. I kept seeing the video on Fox and they were showing some of the rescues that were happening. It is kind of fun to try to figure out if you actually know the firefighter that is doing the rescuing!! There are some great pictures and videos at www.myfoxdfw.com - at least they were up last night.
All but two of the firestations in Denton were flooded and everybody hired was supposed to report last night. D and some other guys were even trying to rescue people using one of the suburbans the fire department owns, just because they ran out of other firetrucks/ambulances.
One of the ambulances even got into some trouble last night. I was surprised that something that large and heavy would still get swept down a bridge by some water....luckily they did not have a patient in the back, but the guys did all have to climb out a window and swim to safety. Dan said he thought the medic would probably be totaled out....it will not be the only vehicle needing some sort of repair!!
Hope that today is a much sunnier day!

Today is gorgeous! It's funny how it always looks so clear and colorful after a huge storm. We got a lot of heavy rain and very high winds but everything held together and I didn't see any damage to houses in our neighborhood, which is good! I'm glad Daniel got home safely, albeit late, last night!
