Flooding

Nothing too exciting happened this weekend. It was actually a really relaxing weekend filled with grocery shopping, visiting family friends, and lots of skyping (when it would work!). I felt well rested for the week ahead- it felt like the first time in a long time!

So, I hear schools were canceled because of flooding at home. I guess we Americans don't know how to handle the rain like they do here. I'm going to upload pictures of the River Blackwater that runs through Killavullen and massively flooded the area this weekend. Apparently it happens countless times during the winter (because its so wet). Luckily, there is a detour to avoid the road that gets completely covered.


This is the actual River Blackwater. Its hard to see, but you can tell how high the water is by the trees that are in the middle of the river.. they aren't usually that way!



This is usually a field- not a lake!



This is another shot of the same 'lake'. You can tell it is supposed to be grass by the small patch popping up to the left.
