So this morning at 5:15am I was awakened to a fantasticly torrential rain storm. I thought that only Texas had storms like these, but this was loud, loud, loud! I listened to it pour without stopping for at least 30 minutes before I fell asleep.
When I woke up this morning to go to work I walked outside to see if it was cool, but it was hot and muggy, and looked dry out. However, just before was about to leave for work my boss calls me to tell me the subways are broken and can I get to work? I said I think so, so Olamida offered to give me a ride to the Path train. There was horrible traffic getting there, and it was only a mile a way, and when we got there there was no way you could get to the train even by walking because the road was covered in about 2 feet of water. Olamida and I tried to drive to Newark Penn Station and there was so much traffic and so many people we both decided to give up after about an hour of sitting in the car. We called in to our jobs, got Dunkin' Donuts and are not sitting at home relaxing. (Well, she is working, and I am sort of working.) It's nice to have a free day off!
The subway isn't working because some of them are flooded and so they stopped all of them. Some trains and some buses are not running because of flooding. It's so crazy that all this can come from 2 hours of torrential rain! My boss said we should touch base tomorrow about whether or not I would work because the subways might not be fixed.
