Vee's right, here it would be a national disaster just like when we have half an inch of snow, everything comes to a stand still.

Must have been a bit scary seeing that car get washed away though Glenda. How far away is the kids school? What did they do then, just like set up a temporary dormitary in the hall or something? I can't see them doing that here, their insurance wouldn't cover them for such eventualities and they wouldn't dare take the risk. My son's school sent everybody home just after Christmas when it BEGAN to snow because the ground was a bit slippy and they were worried someone would fall and hurt themselves and sue them! Crazy, crazy, crazy! I long for a common sense approach on everybody's part.

Let us know when you've got your kids back safe and sound Glenda. I bet they're loving it, it'll be like a big adventure, they'll be like, 'What's all the fuss about, we were alright. Can we do it again tonight?' Aren't kids great!!!!! :)
