The skies turned a deep, stormy grey. The wind began to howl. The temperatures rose to the upper 60's. Extremely abnormal for January in Ohio where the average is usually 20 degrees F.
And, it began to rain. More rain on the saturated grounds. The conservatory decided to release the Bolivar dam at 9:00 p.m. The Dover dam would remained closed. The town my brother is in will be surrounded by water by midnight. No way out or in, but by boat. I told him not to exert himself and to be careful.
Now, the temperature begins to plummet. In the 20's overnight and continuing to get colder as the week progresses. What water is laying around will begin to freeze. Making rescue and clean up efforts a near impossible task.
From my post yesterday, it was 1969 that they were able to water ski down the state route. My brother said that the water will be much, much higher than that year. The state route will be under 8 feet of water. I am sure the local newspaper will get an aerial view.
I took some pics from my car during the rain storm. That is one of them posted above. Most of them were taken while I was driving, so they are rather blurry. When I got home, I dropped my camera. It is okay, but what a klutz.
Watched Cold Mountain last evening. I know that War is hell. I know that it is wrong to desert. I didn't know the movie was rated R. I thought it was PG-13. Why, I don't know. It was very graphical in violence and sex. It depresses me to watch such a nightmarish movie. I want something to make me laugh and enjoy the show. I don't want dark, depressing, painful and shocking. I still don't care for Nicole Kidman. Like her legs are going to be shaved during the Civil War. Give me a break.
This reminds me of a movie I watched with Cheryl Ladd as a female coal miner. Her finger nails were long and manicured as she picked clumps of coal in a mine. I laughed and turned the channel. Kentucky Woman. Don't insult our intelligence.
