No words..

Nothing can prepare you for this much devastation.

The flood of September 2011

left 12 FEET of water in the house..

that was from the basement

to 2 feet above the kitchen counters.

Our furniture, clothing, and other things

were spared, as we got them out,

either in the upstairs rooms, 

or in the box truck.

The trailer, where we stored

a lot of the RV things we've been purchasing..

is totally ruined. Our washer & dryer, 

pictures, yearbooks..

all gone.

This is a picture of how high the

water got to:

The American Legion brought food..

Public Health came and gave tetanus shots..

We are waiting for FEMA to

assess the situation,

there is a rumor that they may

condemn the whole area.

This will open us up for aid.

Please keep us in your prayers as

we try to decide our next move.

For now we are staying with some

good friends that have a spare room.

It's hard to 'live' in a place

that's not familiar, 

out of your routine.

On the way home from 

packing up the truck with the good things..

we saw this:

A rainbow..

signs of promises to come.
