We've been at the lakehouse, since yesterday afternoon, and the kids are supposed to come in Monday, and stay thru Thursday.....yesterday, about 4 pm, a rain/wind storm system moved thru the entire Ark. and MS Delta.....it wasn't that bad at Chicot, so I assumed the same was true at our home.....NOT !!!
Something told me that we better run home, today, and check things out.....man, I'm sure glad we did.....we found all the electricity knocked off, 3 inches of rain in the gauge, and big limbs all over the yard.....I called the rural power company, and they had us up and running in about 45 minutes.
Fortunately, everything was still frozen solid in the freezers, but I can imagine what a stinking mess it would have been, if I had ignored my gut feeling, and waited until Thursday to come home.....thank you, Lord.
