Seems Like 40 Days and 40 Nights




We have beset by floods here and the aftermath has been horrendous. Mud slides on major roadways. Trees downed and creeks overflowing on top of storm sewers backing up. There is nowhere for the water to go.

It seems that we are in for another round according to the forecasts. Typically we get the weather that Kentucky gets the following day so if that pattern holds, this photo of Churchill Downs foretells another disaster headed out way.

I also learned that the Kentucky Derby Museum, where many of the Barbaro artifacts are currently on exhibit was flooded. No word yet on the condition of items on the Museum floor, but apparently many of the archives in the basement were saved by the efforts of a human chain.

We may need an ark soon....
