I'm sure you've all been watching the news about the flooding here in the
Atlanta area. I have never seen so much rain in my entire life! Rain fell some last week, but it never really let up since Saturday morning. Yesterday, it poured down rain for hours on end. Thankfully, our house sets up on a hill, so we've been alright. However, the small lake behind our house has risen to an unbelievable level and there's all sorts of debris floating in it. This is the second day that my girls' schools have been cancelled due to flooding. Unfortunately, additional rain is predicted for today, but I really hope the forecasters have it wrong. The ground is beyond saturated and there's nowhere for any more rain to go.
Here's a picture from the
Atlanta-Journal Constitution that I thought I'd share with you just to give you an idea of the magnitude of the flooding we've seen. This is a portion of
I-285 that's completely covered by the
Chattahoochee River...
The last I heard, 7 people have already lost their lives. It's such a tragic situation for many people. Pray that the sun comes out SOON!
"God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, light for the way."
