The Aftermath

Today we were on tornado watch. Hahah which is really funny because we live in Southern California. It was the most rain I have ever seen around here! It was so loud that Jillian couldn’t nap! We stood at the window for a long time just watching the rain gush down. There was so much rain that it just looked as if the clouds were pouring out buckets of water. The rain only lasted about 20- 30 minutes and then it became beautiful outside. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the clouds were white. If I hadn’t had seen the rain I wouldn’t have believed it had rained with so much force.

When we went downstairs and looked out the backyard we found the evidence of the downpour. Our drains were clogged so the backyard was flooded. The grass area made it looked like we had a marsh in our backyard.

I put Jillian in her rain boots and let her loose. She had the time of her life splashing around. She eventually fell, which was inevitable, but she kept on playing. Once my mom got the drains cleared the water disappeared in minutes.
