I'm never naming my children Allison.

My house took on some water. Not as much as some
places, only two inches, but enough to make me have to
pick up and dissasemble my comp, lose a couple
matresses we had on the floor, lose a lot of shoes and
clothes and fabric and papers and my Gameboy system
(with all my games), and wander around in the dark
from about 2 am to 6 am because I had to pop the
circuits to unplug everything, else I would have
fried. I did get them back on no trouble though, and
my comp worked fine. (It better have, I stuck the
thing on the highest thing in the house.)

And my mom and sisters were out in it. They slept on
the 59 bridge because they couldn't get off the
freeway. Then they got stuck at Lakewood church. Then,
when the cell phones went out and they were wooried
about me, they ended up driving through water too deep
for the truck and flooded out. So they walked home in
waist deep water to get to me and my mom lost her
shoes. Lucky for us, our truck has nothing
computerized in it and after some draining and
changing of fluids, it should work fine. 

And we were lucky. The houses two blocks down flooded
out and will have to have the drywall gutted, and the
carpet ripped out (we don't have any carpets, just one
rug that I picked up the second I saw the water
getting close). A member of my church had a beautiful
new two story house that is now halfway underwater.
The East side where I once lived is a gianty lake.

But I'm okay.
