Aiden And The Great Flood Adventure
Despite the flooding last weekend, Aiden and I tried to drive over to Target to visit the pharmacy. We couldn’t take the normal way, since Main street was closed between Kennedy Avenue and Indianapolis Blvd due to flooding. The second normal way was closed too, since 45th Street was also closed due to high water. We went to the next intersection north, Hart Road, and crossed over to Indianapolis Blvd there, then turned back south towards Target.
Once we got there, we saw that the entire parking lot was under water. We drove towards the stores, but had to turn back because there was literally nowhere to go but into the lake that had formed in the lot. The road was dry along the mall itself, but I couldn’t get over there. The water between me and the stores was at least two feet deep (you could tell from the half-submerged car). I wasn’t going to chance it.
On the way home, we took some pictures of the flooding at Main Street and on 45th Avenue. The flooding on 45th wasn’t evident from Kennedy Avenue, but you could plainly see it from Indianapolis. There were work crews out with pumps and portable pipes to try to drain the water. It was all pretty crazy. Aiden watched it all from the copilot seat. We made it home safe and sound though. Maybe we’ll try again tomorrow.
