More on Isaac

You know it is going to be an interesting day when the weather channel has 6 notifications waiting for you- flashing in red. We got a LOT of rain. The wind broke several branches on the trees in back. A tornado formed in the city next door, knocked down a few houses, and then fizzled. The water in the channel behind us rose several more feet and over the embankment. Thankfully, it was still a few feet away from flooding the backyard. Sandbags in the front yard kept the collecting rain water from the house...until about 6pm. Then the water began to seep into the living room and guest room. So we emptied the linen closet of towels to take care of that. Then we went out and rearranged the sandbags (which were made with the pillowcases). So now we have a mostly-dry house, and an empty linen closet... We do have a lot to be thankful for, though. We are thankful that we have been kept safe, that we have been able to stay in our home, and that we have not lost electricity. Please be in prayer for those who have had real damage done to their homes, and for the communities that are dealing with flooding and the memories of Katrina.
