Time to start packing and it is not for a trip!

[luvtogo12]

The rain is really coming down and there are flood warnings in effect for this area. We have flooded 2x before and I really think it just might happen again.

This time, I won't be foolish enough to think it won't happen here. I waited until the last possible minute to evacuate and ended up walking thru 3 feet of flood ( yuk) water with three kids. DS is sick with a temp. of 102 so I think I'd better play it safe, pack up and be ready.

We were stranded at work last year due to the floods of HURRICANE Allison.......very scary.

 

[RitaZ.]

You are doing the right thing, especially with a sick child. Stay safe and I hope that there is no flooding.

 

[Mskanga]

I would leave , better safe than sorry!

 

[Doctor P]

Hope it gets better real quick and you don't have to leave.

 

[newmousecateer]

Yep, better to be prepared. Hope DS feels better soon.

 

[EROS]

Hopefully GOD will prevent any flooding and insure the safety of your family . After all, he/she DOES control the heavens...........right????? ........

 

[Dan Murphy]

Hopefully the rains will slacken off, luvtogo12, and you will be fine, but always good to be ready. We have experienced that a few times over the many years, not good.

My best for your little guy, hope the temperature breaks soon and he feels better. Take care, try to stay dry.

 

[Beanie]

Take care of yourself...please try to let us know when you are safe from the floods...

 

[helenabear]

I hope the rains lighten up for you. Better to be safe than sorry though. Take care of yourself and I hope your DS feels better soon!

 

[JerseyJanice]

Are you near the Passaic River?

 

[Sonya]

Good luck, be careful. Don't forget your pets.

 

[Serena]

I hope your son feels better soon, and I hope you don't have to leave.

Where in New Jersey are you??? You got me wondering now, too! In my town in New Jersey we really haven't got much rain - not even puddles out there on the roads.

Sure hope you won't have to go!

Well, the rain stopped early enough and there was no reason to evacuate. I get a little paranoid when I hear "flood warnings are in effect" Thankfully, it never amounted to what we were being warned against
DS is much better, thank you all for your concerns. I am still waiting to hear the results of his strep test but he is on anti-biotics.

JJ and Hugs......I am in Central Jersey, in the Bound Brook area.

EROS, EROS, EROS.................God is always watching over me and my family. I see it everyday. I see it in the three miracles he helped to create, I call those miracles my children.

Had it flooded, I would not have blamed God. He simply is providing us with what we need...water. I would, however, blame (for lack of a better word) mankind for taking this beautiful land God created and building it up so much, taking over the lands ability to absorb the excess.

Just a little insight into my God, please respect my opinion as I do yours.

I certainly respect your beliefs and wish you the best .

 

[luvtogo12]

Thank you EROS, that was a very sweet reply!
For some strange reason, I did not expect that you would let me off so easily.

 

[Kitty 34]

Good luck and I hope all goes well.

Luvtogo, I NEVER have a problem with people here expressing their FAITH; my own DW is a devout Catholic .

However, I feel that my views deserve equal respect even if many consider them to be abominable or satanic or insensitive or irascible. RESPECT is a two-way street, but the RIGHTEOUS often don't wish to accord it to "non-believers"...........

 

[Nutsy]

Never been in that kind of situation, but I don't think I'd be hanging around to see what was going to happen. I'd be geting out & making sure we were safe.....
