Well, that was fun.

We had a deluge around 1:00 that dumped so much water on the street that the drains couldn't handle it. The walkway drain above the store overflowed and water started pouring into the store in several places. Meanwhile, the street and alley flooded. Water came in through the back door and flooded our grooming room. Fortunately, we are on the "high" side of the street so no water came in the front. Across the street, water was up over the sidewalk and pouring into the bank and the cupcake store.

So, I spent the day mopping, moving stuff and covering things with plastic so that, when it starts raining again tonight, we won't have any damage to stock. I can't wait to see what happened overnight.

The tornado hit just South of us in Huntington Harbor.

Yikes, NA! I hope for no overnight damage.

Glad everybody's safe!

Here's the view down our street a little while ago...

Almost forgot, a sad little scene from yesterday- a trashcan full of discarded umbrellas and ponchos at the Metro station- it was insanely windy, and I saw several peoples umbrellas destroyed just as they exited the subway escalators.
