The Rains Came

A friend of my husband's sent this image taken in the early morning hours.

Apparently there was quite a lightning show while I was sleeping.

 Although there were a lot of clouds this morning, it looked pretty good out there.

 I had high hopes that the storm had bypassed us.

But just before the end of school, the sky let loose. 

Zack and I were soaked by the time we got to the car.

And streets had already begun to flood because of clogged sewage drains.

 A couple of friends sent pictures from their areas.

And lots of videos have been circulating of major flooding in some parts of the country.

There are people who do crazy things when water is involved.

And some people just don't know how to stay home when the roads are a mess so there's been lots of sirens all afternoon and evening.

This all, of course, is nothing compared to what happened in the Philippines.

A friend messaged that in Illinois there were tornadoes.

And Melanie at Comfy House said that a little town 3 hours from her was totally devastated.

Seems to be lots of crazy weather at the moment.

Praying for calm days ahead and relief to all affected.

Blessings,
