Ummm...Rain Anyone?

Can we say...Torrential downpour? Because that is what we had here in Summerland yesterday. I thank my lucky stars that we were one of few people who's basements remained dry. Many a person had their eyes nearly clawed out in an attempt to get their hands on a pump. This next picture is of our neighbours back yard. Yes, that is a waterfall.



This is Benny just standing in the rain being literally pelted.

Here is the road right beside our house.
This is the mountain across the street from us. Notice the waterfalls. They normally aren't there. How crazy is that?
Poor soggy horsies.

Eventually the sun came out again and people wandered bleary eyed out of thier houses to survey the damage. Our dear friends Steve and Amanda were hard hit by the rain and their apple crop was completely destroyed in minutes. Not only that but their rental property basement flooded and soggified their renters belongings. Brutal. Did i mention this happened on their baby girl's first birthday. What the heck?
Yet, with the loving help of friends and a rainbow to brighten the darkened sky things seem to be not so terrible after all.
