Tropical Storm Lee

I didn't sleep last night, because of the storm. At 5am, we received an automated phone call that there was a tornado alert in our area. We received 2 of those types of calls within a 30 minute span.

We went out in the weather. Call us crazy. All because we needed fat free cheese. We couldn't make an omelet without cheese! So, we called some local grocery stores to find out if any were open for the storm and lucked out.

At 5am, my street was already flooded (picture below).

We had to go down a bunch of different streets, turn around, try other routes, but we did make it to the grocery store. When we saw other people there, I said, "At least we're not the only idiots going to the grocery store in the middle of a tropical storm."

On the drive back home, I was grateful Greg was driving. I had to cover my eyes when we went through some deep waters on the streets. Below is a picture of the canal on W. Napoleon - very high.
