Stranded

My phone rang in the middle of class which is unusual. Most people that have my number would know that I would be in class. I didn't answer it figuring it couldn't be that important. I then went to the pep rally and when I came back it was ringing again. I didn't get to it in time but saw that it was Josh calling. I called him back and he told me that Canyon was flooding. He said that the kids at school could not be released because some areas could not be safely passed. I called a neighbor in town and she said the same thing and that Canyon had gotten 5 inches in less than two hours. So now I'm stuck here at school for the time being. I don't know when and if I can get home. Part of the highway that takes me home is supposedly shut down as well. What concerns me is the fact that the street that is a block away from my house is one of the major streets that can flood. It turns into a river because that is where most of the water in Canyon flows down to a river bed on the south side of town. I hope that my house is o.k.

Josh just called me back and students have been released to go home. I-27 is closed and the football game has been moved to tomorrow. I think I'll stick it out here for a little while. If Josh gets home, he'll call me and let me know what the situation is and if I can make it to the house. So that is the exciting update for today.
