water rising

My small community in metro Atlanta is making headlines today after more than 15" of rain is causing record-breaking flooding around the area.  At the last news updates, hundreds of local roads are closed and it doesn't appear that the rain will let up any time soon.  Thankfully, myself and my family are not in direct harm at this present time, but I can't say that for everyone in the area. Take a look...

Complete chaos. I was actually at Joseph's house yesterday evening when all of this started. My parents advised me to stay there for the night, as it was dark and storming outside (probably the only time they would ever recommend that I stay there overnight).  I was still stranded there this morning as storms passed overhead. Lightning struck a home less than a mile from Joseph's house, and there was almost nothing left of it. Again, I'm very lucky to be safe and sound, but many in my area are not so lucky.

Please pray for the residents of metro Atlanta. It's going to be a rough week for all of us.
