Fourteen inches of rain. That’s what fell on my parents’ house and the surrounding areas Saturday night. A few miles away in any direction, there were only regular thunderstorms. There were two deaths, both in my old neighborhood. I thought I’d seen severe storms there – hail, tornadoes, even lightning striking a tent I was in, knocking me senseless – but this is amazing. It looks like the water’s quickly receeding, but it’s leaving an incredible amount of damage behind.
