Dances With Tripods

I hadn't been asleep very long when I woke up to a very loud, yet strange noise. My four birds were going crazy in their cages, spooked from whatever was going on in the hallway outside my room.

The hall bathroom is across from my room and my son's room. The water pipe coming out of the wall that feeds the toilet tank blew off and sprayed water everywhere!!  My son opened his bedroom door and it sprayed him!  Talk about a rude awakening!!!

I had at least ¼” of water everywhere in my room/office and was freaking out cause the computer and all the cables are on the floor. I had ripped the carpet up a few weeks ago (thank God!!) except for under the desk and heavy furniture. That seemed to stop the water before it got to the computer case but the power strips were sitting in the water.  I’ve spent the past two hours with a wet/dry shop vac and the computer is now “up on blocks”.

Momcat freaked out and noticed the door to the patio was open and carried the kittens outside.  They wouldn't last long with our 110 + degree weather.

When I woke up it looked like it was snowing (feathers flying everywhere) and I got up and stood in water.  I thought I was dreaming.
