Floods

WOW!
Thats the only word i can think of to describe the events of yesterday. It started raining over night and rained HARD until about 2 pm. We got 11 inches of rain from about 9 am - 2pm when the rain finally stopped. Everything is flooded. No one here has ever seen things this flooded. they are comparing it the flood of 1913 so its been a long time since it was this bad. Roads are washed out, bridges are collapsed. Houses and entire shopping centers are under water. Cars are being swept off the road. There have been 2 fatalities and one person missing that they know of.
Hospital have had to be evacuated. One hospital was evacuated at 7 am yesterday. Another one further south was evacuated at about 8 pm last night. ( more on that in another post)

Please pray for everyone involved. There are so many who can't get to family members and so many who will have major cleanups if things can even be salvaged.
