Shall we build an ark?

I asked my family the above question last night, as the waters poured down for the third day in succession. Roads have washed out here, basements have flooded and given way, and the earth has moved downstream in mud slides. This is not typical, especially for this time of year. On the larger scene, the hurricane season has been bad already with devastating effects on Florida and other Southern areas. North Carolina has come in for a heavy dose of storms and wetness. Maybe a trip to the lumber yard is in order!
