We're Having a Flood!!!!

Tink · 06-29-2007, 06:52 PM

Diana, my prayers are with you all.
For both our sakes I wish I could take some of that rain away from you. I'm having to water daily and they're talking about cancelling fireworks for the 4th because of how dry everything is.

I hope you all keep safe and dry.

Diana I am so sorry you are going through this. You and your son will be in my prayers.

I just looked at our forecast and it's 80% for tomorrow, 70% for tomorrow night with heavy rains. We're thinking that this is going to be the biggest flood that we've ever seen.

My son-in-law was called to town with the fire truck to help rescue people who are stranded on top of their vehicles. He's not going to be able to make it back home tonight because we've had a lot of rain since he's left but his family (my daughter) lives right beside me so I know that they'll be alright. This is really turning into a desperate situation.

There's a new neighbor near our old place that's never been in a flood before. He called wondering what to do. There's no way that anyone can get to him and get him and his family out (they're right by the river) but there's another neighbor close by and my father-in-law recommended that they go over there. At least they have a two story home.

And it's STILL raining!

Great photo's. I hope you guys are finding a way to stay dry! I hope the rain lets up and everyone makes it out safely.

These floods are awful. It has been showing it on the news in Kansas and Texas. We were going through a bit of a drought here in Indiana and are still below our average, but it has rained and rained good. The brown grass is back to green again.

I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. I sure will pray the water doesn't get into your son's house. What a mess.

I will have to take some of the blame for all of the rain.

Jesus loves me and has been protecting me while we were having trouble with our retaining wall. Our lawsuit settled a couple of months ago and we were able to put in a new 12 high wall. We have been blessed with very little rain for the last 5 years. Well, just when we finished the new wall the rain started.

I think that God is just letting all the water he has been holding to protect us. Hopefully, his bucket is almost empty.
