Rain Rain Go Away
When I wrote that last post I wasn't aware that parts of Oregon and Washington actually WERE flooding with houses floating away! Oh my, what a disaster. The Interstate had to be closed and many roads are still cut off in places due to landslides, fallen trees, and high water. Many lost their homes and business's, and folks are still without power. We've been hearing stories from friends who found themselves in crazy situations too. That particular storm has moved on, but I can only imagine it's going to be trouble wherever it goes.
If you have a few dollars to spare, or a pair of willing hands I know the Red Cross can always use them, along with your prayers.
Oh my, and I thought we had bad weather here in Belgium! Here it's been dark and rainy for weeks now, but nothing compared to your weather!
Could this already be the result of global warming, I wonder?

Yes, there are too many people out there struggling because of that storm. Unfortunately, in this part of the PNW it won't be the last one. They have closed highway 38 not that far from where we live. The boulders that came down are as big as some houses!
Here's praying people will be comforted and helped to get through the aftermath!

It's all horrible. Luckily we're on higher ground and got through all this undamaged but there's a lot of need out there.

So you were lucky comparing with so many others.
I like so much the rain but this amount is frightening.
But these pictures are delightful.

My poor mommy lives is in coastal Oregon and boy does she have some stories to tell! Crazy weather indeed. Stay safe everyone.
