If the creek dont rise

How many times have you heard a grandparent say that? Well those of you with Southern grandparents? I have heard it my whole life but I never really thought about it till today. We have had a bunch of rain and we are under flood warnings. The creek near me is above flood level and rising. I really get it now. I will be going on vacation in June if I still have a freaking house left. Yep if the creek don't rise indeed. This is sorta scary. I am about to take my butt back home and battle hurricanes instead. It's all about the devil you know.
