High Water!

Everywhere that I have lived has had some kind of crazy weather that was unique to its area. Michigan is just crazy weather. Nowhere that I have lived does it change as quickly as in Michigan. I have seen, many times, the weather go from 60 degrees one day, to 15 the next. The weatherman in Michigan does not have it easy.

Germany was something else. The clouds that would hang around for weeks and weeks at a time were unbelievable. I used to forget what the sun and blue sky looked like. It was not uncommon to go 4 - 6 weeks without seeing the sun because of the constant cloud cover. Dresden was a hard place to live because of the weather. I won't live in a valley again!

Alaska. Hmm... what to say about Alaska? -60 degrees, earthquakes, ice fog, 3 feet of snow in a day, etc. Alaska wasn't so much "crazy" as it was EXTREME. There is nothing mediocre about Alaska. Everything that goes on there is to the extreme. When it decides to be cold... it gets really cold. When the sun decides to come out and be beautiful... you have never seen such amazing sun and beauty.

On to North Carolina. Rain. When it rains it really rains. I thought the house was going to float away and Noah was going to be coming by to collect our cats. Yesterday when it stopped raining Maddy and I went to take a ride because it was so nice out. Check out what happens in North Carolina when it rains for a day.

That is a normal height bridge in the distance that is under water. Impressive to say the least. Thank goodness Hendersonville isn't in a valley, but rather way up in the mountains.
