Mikie:

We tried, really we did. We live off of Ellsworth and McKellips, and the thunder, lightning and sprinkles started around 7:30 in the morning and continued off and on until past 11. Even then, we kept looking to the north at the black clouds and decided that we really didn’t need really to spend the next week trying to get the water out of the carpets. Next weekend sounds like a much better idea.
