The rain continues to fall and the lightning is at times uncomfortably close. The weather report now shows that we’ve received nearly 6 inches (144 mm, to be exact) since midnight.
I braved the elements, though, and walked to my office. I was a bit apprehensive because, even though the lightning had let up somewhat, it was still flashing and crackling in the area. On my way, I glanced over at the golf course, and there was a large torrent of water, a waterfall, really, pouring from the edge of one of the fairways, down toward the road below. It looked contained, so I think it is part of the drainage design, but if you slipped and fell into the thing, you’d probably die. Seriously, a real gusher.
Oh, well, I’m safely ensconced inside the Language Center, preparing for my classes. I wonder how many of my students will make it in this morning? More later.
