Horse pastures have become lakes...
Driveways, pillars, and gates are rapidly disappearing...
...and some roads are disappearing, too! This was the worst spot we saw today. We were supposed to drive through here...but of course we turned around and took an alternate route...after I took a few pictures!
This still-picture of the waterfall doesn't come even remotely close to capturing the power of the water here. It was literally roaring, and the water was churning, spraying, and foaming...it was magnificent and a little frightening! There's no way any civilian vehicle stupid enough to try could have withstood its force.
Notice the submerged fence across the middle of the pasture...
The kids and I have had many great opportunities to discuss man's helplessness in the face of flooding, and God's power over even that...and to talk about how we aren't at all worried that the whole earth will be flooded, because God promised that it wouldn't happen again and that's that! It has been pretty amazing to see. And in case you're concerned, our house is located in such a way that it would be pretty impossible to have flooding issues...for which we are very grateful! In the meantime, we're enjoying the show from our high-and-dry house!

Talk about a pic is worth a thousand words.......just amazing that the water could be so high!
I'm glad your house is high up, was thinking about your family last night when I saw the flooding on the news. You're in my prayers, as always.
Maybe you should take a break from appointments this week and have pajama school and pajama afternoons. My kids love hot chocolate on rainy days, even in the summer and it goes great with pajamas. Finn would say, "Popcorn too!"
Glad you guys are safe from it! It's pretty incredible to see the pictures though!
