Puddle Stompers

It rained buckets yesterday. My nifty little rain gauge is broken, so I don't have any idea of how much rain we actually got. It was A LOT!

We were fortunate as didn't have the magnitude of problems that some around our fair state have suffered. My last post talked about the storms. They raged on.

Of course, the TV stations were alert to the fact that I needed to see the damage. They were out again. Storm Chasers were replaced by reporters standing deep in the flood waters that they caution people to avoid. One reporter's jeans were muddy to the top of his legs. He pointed out that you couldn't see his feet. He had on wadding boots, and he needed them.

I-Needa called this morning before heading off to work. She made the comment that the 'puddle stompers' were out. I thought that was funny and quite a good description. I'm afraid it is going to stick with me and I shall always in the future refer to them as puddle stompers.
