Town Underwater

The rain started Monday.

It rained again Tuesday....all day.

Wednesday.....another day of rain. Five inches in one day!!!

Local schools are closed today. Basements have 3-5 feet of water. Residents were forced out of their homes and took boats to dry land. Pumps are working overtime!!! Streets turned into rivers. Memories ruined. Toys washed away. Raw sewage backed up in homes.

Today the clouds are finally breaking. The sun is planning to show his face. Residents will start the process of gathering their items and clean up. Do they have flood insurance? Pumps? Is their home’s foundation intact? Do they have enough help? Support?

Please pray for these families. That God will restore. Rebuild. Renew. Today is a new day!

PS Our home did not suffer any flood damage
