Rains came down.. and the floods came up.

I have always had this strange fantasy ever since I was a child;

to be in a flood.

I remember one time when it was raining really hard, putting on my favorite jumper and swimming in the gutter. Yes, the gutter. I couldn't move much but I had always fantasized about swimming in a real flood, even to this day. Well I should say until I was actually in one.

Kylan and I went to run some errands right as Kylan got a job, so I decided to go with him on his job. When we went outside it looked like a waterfall was coming off of our roof because it was raining so hard. I had never seen anything like it. So we ran to the car and started driving, we went out to Pennsylvania avenue and it was pure chaos. there was so much water in the streets it was up to our hood. It seemed as it was leaking into the car. I could take a raft down the street! We looked about 30 feet ahead of us and cars had their hazard lights on because they had been flooded and stalled. We decided to turn around and take a different street. But there was no way we could make it anywhere! The water was higher than the curbs spilling everywhere, parks look like lakes, and houses were flooded, canals were overflowing on to the streets. I was so excited and wanted to stay in it, but kylan was getting a little nervous. So after a little bit there was no way we could make it to his job so we turned around and went back to home. When we got there we turned on the news and watched mother nature take its course. There had even been a couple people who where swept away and died! Anyway scary stuff!
