The rains came and flooded our town. I watched water runoff from our neighbor’s backyard rush through our fence, creating a little river that wrapped completely down one side of our house and eventually into the street. It was pretty cool to see. But then reports of damage came in. Thankfully we didn’t suffer any ourselves, except we hadn’t any hot water the next morning, and I was leaving for a few days. I scheduled someone to come and fix the problem so my wife wouldn’t have to move out while I was gone. Turns out it was just the pilot light. It had gone out.
