Fay, Part Two

Thought you needed to see exactly what we're dealing with here.

Incidentally (if you and your retinas are still with us), this photo came from a story quoting the National Guard in Melbourne - which got 22 inches of rain on the first day - as remarking that there are now alligators and large snakes cruising the flooded streets.

No alligators here, but we only got about half a foot of rain overnight. Plus, the power's back on now, at least for a while, so we won't have to go out with spears to hunt squirrels in the park just yet. And some of the bridges are open at the moment, which means I still have to make my soggy way in to work again today. Not that yesterday was a day off.

Fay!
I just like saying the word, really.
Excuse me while I go park my car underneath a big dead tree limb. Back in a few.
