It has been raining for the past week in Atlanta. Literally. Mainly just on and off sprinkling followed by a short downpour followed by mugginess, wash, rinse, repeat. Over the weekend however heavy rain came down continuously causing flooding in most of the area. We woke up this morning to hear about school and road closures around the whole Atlanta area. Gwinnett County schools of course were only on delay which later changed to a closure as well. The flooding has been pretty severe closing surface streets and interstate junctions like “Spaghetti Junction” causing significant traffic problems all around town. The news said a few schools were flooded as well but we didn’t hear about any in our area that were affected other than just being shutdown – likely due to transportation issues more so than flooding.
Looks like the kids will get to stay home and play for another day. Isaac was concerned though that school was “closed forever”…oddly that upset him (maybe we should check his temperature). I don’t think we will hear the same complaint from Jacob he has been at home sick for the past few days missing much of school last week and was non to excited to go back today. Piper still gets to go to pre-school which stays open regardless and Violet is already at school when she wakes up.
