Craziness

Friday night my family and I went to this Italian restaraunt in KC for my Uncle's birthday. Lucky for us we parked and made it inside the restaraunt before the HUGE storm started (about 5 minutes later). Leaving my Uncle had to take off his shoes and socks to get to the car because the street was about 6 inches deep in rain. After finally sprinting to the pulled-up car 8 yards away we took off to see a car turned over on the freeway, and Brush Creek (by the Plaza) turned into a river. We pulled over to the side of the road closest to the 'river' and rolled down the windows so that we could see and hear it better, but when we pulled into the middle lane because the water was getting a little too deep underneath us, a car zoomed by us and sprayed us, soaking the interior of my Uncle's Lexus. That was by far the funniest thing that happened all week.

Hayley's friends came over and we all went outside and played in the rain for about 20 minutes. I hadn't played tunnell tag for about 10 years before then, so that was a lot of fun... not to mention that we had a sliding contest to see how far we could slide head first on her front yard. I must tell you- I felt quite young playing tunnel tag in the rain with a bunch of 16 year olds.

Since I've been here I have seen a tornado, been in a lot of thunder and lightning storms, and been in a flood. I guess this will do if I can't have my washington lakes and oceans.
