Lunch Time Sunday, Still Raining

Tweet

The photo is from Saturday after the rush of water over the road had calmed somewhat. Ginger insisted on testing the depth. As you can see, it was about 2" deep where she stopped. I had her on a FlexiLead, so she was in no danger of washing away. I make a pretty good anchor. Thank goodness the winds have all but died down. The rain is another story. It is expected to keep falling steadily for several more hours and then sporadically for a number of days. My missus and I were able to make it to church this morning. There were some roads we saw cordoned off due to flood waters and/or downed trees. Knowing the roads most likely to be flooded, I also knew what roads were probably safe and we made it to town with no problems. Church was lightly attended today. Probably half the usual Sunday morning Mass congregation was able to make it in. I did see several of my students and colleagues. I'm glad to know they are okay. If I may offer a word of caution to those who want to help those adversely affected by the storm - only donate to charities you know such as the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, or a local charity or church you are familiar with. I caution you not to donate through Go Fund Me or any other such site as they are rampant with fraudulent appeals. Nor should you respond to request on Facebook or other social media sites for the same reason. Your thoughts, hopes, and prayers for those still in danger from the storm or her aftermath - the flooding still to come along the rivers - are welcome and much appreciated. I hope all of you are doing well. I look forward to reading your posts.
