Eventful day here in little ole Hoboken. This town floods VERY easily and apparently this is the worst flooding since a Hurricane in 1999! On the wettest day of the year we also managed to have a 4 alarm fire just up the street. A lumber store went up in flames about 5 blocks up from us. The flames were so intense we could see them from our window!
See the links below for pictures of our water-logged town:

Wow! Major excitement! Did you manage to stay high and dry? Did they keep the fire contained to the lumber store? Must have been scary! Amazing pictures!

My sister said all the good stuff. It seems abstract until (1) it surrounds somebody you care about or (2) you see pictures.
