Well....

I'm in Southern Utah and there seems to be massive flooding and mass panic all around me. My apartment itself is one of the higher ones in the area and I should be fine which is good because there is really no way in or out of my town at the moment. I was looking around at everything I own trying to get some bags together just in case I was evacuated. My laptop bag went next to the door so I can still work no matter where I am. The practical stuff was easy, the sentimental stuff is mostly at my parents house along with all important records. Seriously? I have nothing valuable to take with me? The Gilmore Girls DVDs is it.

I have enjoyed all the talk of a dam potentially breaking considering that they've been reporting on it for 5 hours and only now just figured out that it's made out of clay. I giggle every time I hear "I was just in a meeting with the dam officials". Now, I'm no dam official but wouldn't what the dam is made out of be very integral to the breaking or not breaking process? This is my first flood, I think I will be awesome at it.

Oh, wow. Hope everything is untouched at your place and your town suffers minimal damage.

this made me laugh so hard. I was looking for news on the flooding and found your blog. I live in St. George and I'm pretty sure I'd take my computer and my Veronica Mars dvds out the door with me.

Wow!! I hope you don't need to rescue Girlmore Girls - I laughed at that too because I would rescue it if I had it. But seriously I hope everything is fine in the end.

It certainly sounds as if you will be awesome at it, but I hope you don't have to put it to the test!

Good luck, and have an AWESOME holiday!!
