Flood Pictures

Yes, the rain has stopped and the water is receding. Soon our ark will rest and we can send out the doves. But until then, here are a couple pictures of the Little River along side which I do my jogging. At least I used to; maybe when the animals get out of the ark and the ground dries I can get back to it. The first two pictures are before and after the rains. In the "dry" picture you can see in the foreground the storm drain entrance (about five feet high). It is made of cement with a steel lid on top for entrance by workers. Water from housing developments drains into an underground cement pipe and eventually (about a mile away) into the river. But the drain is underwater and there's no place for the water to go. For that reason, some lower level housing developments are completely flooded. We thank the Lord he led us to a home built on a hill and a life built on a solid rock.



The next two pictures are about a football field's length away from the river. The woods have now become part of the river.
