The storm is still in our area, but mostly it's passed on to the northeast. Tropical Storm Lee hung around a long, long time, moving at 2mph and causing us great concern for flooding. Historically, when a storm moves very slowly over us, it dumps more rain than our pumps can handle, and we have street flooding and home flooding. We were fortunate this time - the storm's bands had enough breaks between them that the ground was able to absorb the water and the pumps were able to clear the streets.
We're so thankful, and hope that as the storm moves away, it doesn't hurt anyone else, either.
And now the cupcake. My daughter made cupcakes this week, with a Harry Potter theme. She made this adorable owl with Oreos and M&Ms for eyes, sliced almonds for feathers, and a piece of a Starburst candy for a beak. He's sitting on my Glacier National Park mousepad - the view is of Lake McDonald.
And yes, I ate him.
Glad you weathered Lee without damage to you and your property. That cupcake is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe cupcake is so cute! I would have eaten it too, LOL. So glad you came through Lee so well. That's a relief, I know.
