The Rain Came Down and the Floods Came Up

You've probably all heard about the rain and the flood on December 11th. It was one CUH-RAZY day!! It rained so hard and for so long! We were really blessed that our house didn't flood. Our neighbors had it really bad though. David went out to help our neighbors and then went off to help his family that lives in Laie. His aunty lives on Iosepa and that street got it pretty bad, they had to rip out the carpet in their house.
These aren't even good pictures but these are the ones I took when the rain kinda died down by our house.

The water had actually gone down when I took the picture. The highest it went was almost up to the slipper.

The water is up to the back wheel of our Kia but our neighbors across the street had to sandbag it.


This is definitely worse than the one time that it rained for like forty days and forty nights! I don't know if you guys remember but the front field back then with all the water looked like a pond compared to the lake it looked like last week!
