Freakin Fridays!
Freakin Fridays is my own little meme. I’ll be posting about books, movies, and all things scary.
Feel free to join in and do your own Freakin Fridays posts!
Tune in every Friday. Get your scare on!
Let’s have some fun!

I’m beginning to wonder if the rains will ever end.
Living on the Gulf Coast, I expect the daily afternoon torrential downpours. I do live in a tropical state, but this is getting ridiculous. It’s been raining for days and days.
What usually takes me about 16 minutes to drive home from work, took me 57 minutes.
It was a white knuckle drive as my wipers couldn’t keep the windshield clear and most of the roads I would use to get home were blocked off due to flooding.
I was doing about 10 miles an hour, creeping through rushing water over the roads. The water was so fast it had whitecaps and hit the fences on the side of the road and flew upwards.
I looked up at the sky thinking, “What’s next?”
Maybe it’ll rain cats and dogs!
So, okay. It didn’t really rain cats and dogs. A good thing too, because I wouldn’t know what to do with them all!
I was worried that my wicked cousins would come calling since there was so much water they could easily swim right to my doorstep.
Believe me, any visit from them is too soon!
I was beginning to think I would have to worry about water spouts too.
A water-spout looks like a tornado over the water and can have winds up to 90 plus mph!
They mostly fall apart as soon as they hit land, but with all of this rain, who knows!
Hopefully, the sun will return to dry up all of the water and I can bask in it’s warmth again.
I miss sitting out by the pool, reading and playing on my computer.
If I don’t get outside soon, I’ll go crazy, and I don’t want that!
I wonder if there is a dance you can do to make the rain go away? LOL
And in an inexplicable twist of weather whims, I’m baked, parched and constantly getting dehydrated as I’m doing the final-final edit on my book. 🙁 There’s not a drop of rain forecast for the next ten days – in the UK, for God’s sake! How did this happen? Unless the sun is trying to make it up for ten continuous months of rain last year…
I can’t imagine ten months of gloomy skies. You poor thing. One good thing, you probably got a lot of work and writing done:)
For the dry heat, I recommend Bloody Mary’s in the morning and Margaritas in the afternoon! LOL
Waiting, waiting for your book…..! So excited to hear it’s almost there.
Book just gone to formatter this lunchtime 🙂
Yeah! It’s almost ready!!
Awesome post Laura. And so true. I saw the sun just long enough to mow the lawn and clean the pool. Took a quick dip before the thunder and lightening came rolling back in. And Ella, ten months of rain, ahhhhhhhh, just don’t know what I would do. Guess I would get a lot of reading done. LOL
It was a very scary ride home. I kept thinking I would be washed away. The water was rushing and actually had whitecaps!
Had to go past my road and come around the back way to get to my house!
Did you have to drain your pool? Mine overflowed.
Yeah. I kept a pretty close eye on it. I see the sun right now. Wonder how long it will stay.
Definitely a freaky Friday! Thanks!
It sure was! Thank God it’s over. Sun is shining and the pool is nice and cool this Saturday!
Oh my! That’s scary! We get flooding rains like that on occasion here in Texas and it makes for some very scary driving. Glad you made it home safely.
Thanks Taylor. Funny thing is, except for some small puddles on the side of the roads, the next day you couldn’t tell it has happened.
Sounds wet, but I love a good storm. Stay safe out there.
I like storms too, as long as I don’t have to drive in them or lose the power! It’s like it never happened now:)
