As I sat there typing I received an email that said the following:
"To all business park tenants: Please evacuate the office building immediately. This is a mandatory evacuation."
As my co-workers and I filed downstairs we wondered what it could be about. "Bomb threat?" one of them guessed. "Something electrical due to the windstorm." another speculated.
But as soon as we walked out the door it became obvious. The little creek that runs past our office building had turned into a raging river and was about to overflow its banks.
As I made my way out into traffic I called my husband, who works nearby. "Honey, " I told him "Don't take the back way home. The streets are flooding really badly."
As soon as I hung up I regretted it. I knew exactly what he would do.
As soon as he got home, I took one look at his truck and yelled "Busted!"
"What do you mean?" he asked trying to act innocent.
"Don't even try it." I fumed. "I see the splash marks all the way up to the roof."
"It was really cool driving though the 'puddles' though." he told me, completely unrepentant. "I went through one where the water splashed so high I couldn't even see!"
Here are the pictures one of my co-workers took:

Definitivamente tu esposo es tico haha. Increible la cantidad de agua que había... espero que ya haya bajado el nivel.
Y es un placer tenerte de vuelta.

wow! that is one nice flood. welcome back from your vacation.... I probably would have driven through it as well
LOL that's hilarious
Your husband sounds like my kind of guy.
Wow, you actually have extreme weather - Here in Northern VA, it snowed less than an inch yesterday and this morning school is delayed 2-hours! (...not that I'm complaining.)
Oh and PS I love the new look!
Ree! ¡Te extrañe mucho!
Sí, está totalmente correcto. MrEllie es puro tico. Qué condenado verdad? Hasta pronto!
Rafi - Thanks! And I knew you would. It's becoming clear that when we visit Israel I must never allow you and MrEllie to meet.....
Hakiruv - It was...at least after the fact!
Jack - I think you and my husband are two of a kind.
Jill - Seattle weather is usually not so extreme either. It rains often - but it's usually a light drizzle. We react the same way to light snowfall - ha!
Wow! Major flooding there! I'm surprised they'd send an "emergency email" about something like that- what if people don't check their email that often? Wouldn't an announcement over the intercom have been more efficient?
