Snow Slideshow

UPDATE

Okay I admit it, I have my 'blonde' moments but since I posted this last night I was able to add music to the slide show, just not of my own choice!
So now, for you listening pleasure, there is 'lounge' music wafting in the background! Heh heh heh... So go grab your favorite lemonade and watch my slideshow. Bah!   Ü

---------------------------------------

Okay here are a few pictures that I took today of the snow we had last night. And it was a doozey of a storm! We even had lots of thunder and lightning which was really strange. I don't know the official amount that we got but let me tell ya, it's A LOT of snow... and 'that' is my official report! Ü

Oh, and I wasn't able to put music (for your listening enjoyment) with the slide show because I would have had to upgrade from the free version and I wasn't about to do that when I can upload and use my own music with windows movie maker... now after saying that I was to tired to redo the pictures in Windows so... you can hum your favorite ditty while looking at my pics! Bah!

The Deluge!

I am finally getting around to putting something together about terrible flooding in our area... but before I go on I will just let you know that our house and property have been spared any damage and we are very thankful for that but there are many that have recieved damage, a lot of flooded basements, you constantly see water running down streets where people are still pumping and then there are those who have have lost their house and property... some are still under water waiting for the water to subside.

There are many roads/bridges that are unpassable either because of damage or because they are still submerged. The thing to say now days is "Ya can't get there from here" or it is a challenge to say the least!! 

Well, here are some pictures for you to see for yourselves... I did not take all these pictures I have gleaned these from many sources and would like to thankVickie and Kim for letting me use theirs.

Industrial Drive in Westerly.

The river is susposed to be behind the red building in the background

Looking up Industrial Drive towards Pleasant Street

Tan building to the right is the Johnnycake Center and the white building and green house at the end is Pucci's Carpets

Here is a map that shows Industrial Drive and where the river should have been.

The river marks the border between Rhode Island and Connecticut
