Rain rain rain

So I had to make a post talking about this wonderful weather we have been having recently. I was talking to my mom on the phone today because she called to ask if I was ok. I just laughed because she was asking if I was safe. Apparently she was watching the news and they were making it out to seem like Boone was in the middle of a hurricane. I told her no, that we were just getting a lot of rain. And as soon as I said that I got a text from a friend asking if my power was out. Apparently Boonetown cant take the lightening and a fuse box was blown out near campus. So dummy me decided to share that with my mother... lets just say she went into mom mode and panicked a little. Told me to go buy food and water and prepare. I told her I would go out and do just that... however that didn't happen. I just think its funny how people who don't live in the mountains think that a little rain is a crazy event. Makes me laugh a little every time.
