The Nashville Flood

The weekend of the Nashville Flood Bo and I were in Birmingham having our class reunion. It was great! We left on Sunday to come home and heard there was some flooding :) We really had no idea what that entailed.
Bo had been in Mobile all week working so we were in separate cars. We remained on the phone in case one of us floated off the road because we couldn't see each other it was raining so bad. I took Penny (our girl dog) and Bo took Paul (our boy dog). Right when we past into TN we started to see what flooding meant. It looked like we were driving through Niagara Falls the water was pouring over the rocks on the interstate. We were going through massive pools of water...scary times...even for the dogs. Paul started to get a little gassy at the thought of all this going on AND THEN, WE HAD DIARRHEA!!!. Poor Bo was gagging. Paul was in his lap when it happened and to keep it contained in his car, he held Paul IN HIS LAP!! We had to pull over at a gas station (along with 50 other drivers trying to get out of the flood) so I could take Paul. Yes...Bo couldn't handle the poop. Given...it was REALLY bad. We managed to make it home. It looked like White Water rapids on the sides of the roads and the city was under water so we had to take detours everywhere we went. But THANK YOU GOD that our house was fine and after a good shower and a $200 car detail so was Bo :)
