Rain, rain go away?

So, the snow is gone - (I didn't even blog about it!) and the rain is here. It's been a wet and wild day today. The schools even canceled all after school activities so Gabe misses out on basketball practice. He didn't seem TOO disapointed, but I think that's cause he knows he has league practice tomorrow...

So - I picked up the boys from school, anticipating the torrential down pour to continue...but as I'm picking them up, it stops. Not that I'm complaining. I need to run to Jo-Anns for a quick thing, so we head for the store, going around the round-a-bout the road is closed going up to the stores...what?? So, me in all my curiosioty drove into the neighboring parking lot to see what all the fuss was about. We even parked to get a closer look - see... it was worth being curious about. Half the street is MISSING!

The kids were amazed. Heck, I was amazed. There was so much of the ground missing - and so much rushing water inside the hole. So - no one plan a trip to Jo-Ann's anytime soon - I doubt you'll make it to the parking lot!

Edited to add info from a news site I found. From the Kitsap Sun: "The worst damage thus far in Port Orchard is a 50-foot long by 30-foot wide and 20-foot deep sinkhole near the Hi-Point Shopping Center, next to Hi-Joy Bowl. A broken stormwater at the north entrance to the shopping center caused by heavy flow. A city water line has been shut off to avoid adding additional water to the damage, leaving no water at the Hi-Joy Bowl."
