So, I just got some pictures of the flooding. These aren’t from near my house; they’re from Saint Paul’s School, the high school that everyone on my dad’s side of the family went to. I didn’t go there for high school, but I did spend a summer there at their Advanced Studies Program, and I feel attached to it as an institution.
That is a crazy amount of water.
Something similar happened in my parents’ town about a year ago, from about 2 days’ rain. Water is impressive in the right quantities, and can make us feel less powerful over our own situations than we’d like to.
