Lakeland Florida

Or, I found out why rent is so cheap


Or, I now have a reason to build that folding Kayak


I am being really bad about keeping up to date with my blog. Too busy with the move and so forth.
 Not this friday but the one prior, 9 days ago now, it rained. Now, when I say it rained, that isn't an adiquite description. Imagine a swimming pool with a lot of bubbles in it. That is what it seemed like outside. It rained THAT hard. More water then air. With my place of residence being in a hole, it gets wet. Really wet. The water was half an inch over the threshhold for the front door. You can see that in this photo. I had the door open (it didn't matter, it was coming in anyway) with the towels set to slow it down. I was mopping it out with another towel and sweeping it out with a broom. It also came into the bedroom and along the wall in the living room.


 There is a channel cut in the yard to try to direct the water away, it was just overwelmed with how hard it rained.

Welcome to Lakeland. That rain was one of our harder ones lately. I hope you find a way to channel the water before the next one.

If it's any consolation, I haven't experienced many of those hard rains in my two years here in town.
