Intellicast.com tells me that we are under a flood watch. I remember my mom calling shortly after I moved up here on this mountain. She was concerned when she heard that my county was under a flood warning. Her concerns came from the fact that my house did flood when I lived in Glasgow, Virginia. Here in Floyd County, Virginia, there are a few areas that can and do flood, like along Thunderstruck Road. At my home, the only thing that can flood is the driveway near the creek. So, the only thing we worry about is being able to make it out once the storm is done and the water has flowed elsewhere. Repairing the road is a normal life event. Anyway, when my mom called to voice her concern, I told her that if it flooded at my house that there had best be another Noah. Noah and the Ark are one of the few stories from the Bible that I know. It is one of the popular stories that is told fairly often and with few changes. My home is at 2600 or so feet above sea level. So you can see why I make that statement. IF there is ever a flood at my house, we’ll need a boat to get to safety.
