Flooding in Saukville

The town that we live in is flooded. The Milwaukee river flows through downtown and it has risen above its banks. We have had horrible storms for the past week and have spent a good amount of time taking shelter in the basement due to tornado warnings. Luckily, our neighborhood is at the top of a hill so, we are safe from the flooding. Thank goodness. Wednesday, Carter and I tried to head out and run some errands since the news was saying it was the only break in weather we would have all week. Wouldn't you know it, my truck wouldn't start. So, we had it towed to a local mechanic. The next day, when the mechanic went to work on it, the truck started up fine. He thinks the fuel pump is going out which is causing an intermittent failure. But point of the story is that the mechanic allowed me to pick up my car last night since it was starting fine and just told me to call him if it happened again. Well thank God because today, that mechanic shop is completely under water. Someone was on our side, that's for sure! Poor Carter is feeling cooped up. We were supposed to go to the Petting Zoo today. Looks like the petting zoo will have to wait until things dry out.
