Water-Front property

So the rains were predicted to fall yesterday and pretty much this entire weekend...due to that tropical storm that decided to come onto land. Over at Brent's house last night, it wasn't bad getting there, only a little water on the road. After a few more people showed up, the rain came down a little harder, and then the floods came. Abilene, not known for its underground drainage system(lacking one altogether), become the essence of chaos from water.

Brent now had riverfront property. A nice 10 mph current of water passed in front of his house now and things were pretty funny. Mind you this wasn't the normal draining of water. It was a few feet deep. I really wanted to float down the road too. And, the dare to try and cross the street on a bicycle was a little extreme considering the fast moving water. You guys just wanted to watch me drown, maybe!

I didn't realize you posted this. Waterfront property always has increased value. The gang still would have liked to see Adam go across the river on my bike.
