It started around like 9:30 last night, and it was really rainy and windy. About an hour or so later, we thought we heard something fall. We looked out the window, and a big branch from a tree in the backyard fell on our patio. It was a really weak branch so it wasn't enough to do any dammage. Then at like 11 our power went out so we had to break out the flashlights. I tried going to sleep, but the wind was pretty strong at that point and there are a few trees by my room, so I went downstairs. Then, we looked out side the window and we saw some of our neighbors in front of my friend's house, which is two doors down and aa lot of car lights. My sister thought that something had fallen on my friend's house. So my Dad and Grandpa went out to investigate (the rain and wind had stopped at this point). About 15 minutes later they came back and said that down the street was all flooded about 4 feet. We weren't surprised that there was flooding because there is a creek behind te houses down there, but it's never really gotten any higher than a foot. I went back down with them to see all the excitement, and it was probably about 1:30-2:00 at tis point. One of my neighbors who lives down there had a panic attack and my next door neighbor, who is a nurse, had to take her into her house and calm her down! We basically just stood out there with everyone else, and watched people recover important stuff from the flooded houses. At this point, some of the flooding had gotten to the 2nd floor of the houses! My Dad had everyone in our family pack up just in case we had to leave. At around 3:30 the rain and wind started back up again, so everryone went back in their ouses, and my next door neighbor took in all the people who had nowhere to go (don't know where they all slept!). By then, the power was back on, and I fell asleep. When I woke up this morning, there was no other dammage, and all the water in the street was gone. My Dad and Grandpa who had both stayed up all night to make sure nothing happened, said it gotten up here, but only about an inch in the street , and it couldn't make it up our hilly driveway so it didn't get into the house or anyting. Last night was definetly scary, but it was exciting!
