It would be very easy for those of us who are not involved in rescue operations and who don’t have a big Lookie-Lou problem to conclude that the flooding did not affect us where we live. I have been one of those. I have driven across a road near us that has a lot of dips with warnings about flooding and posts that measure how deep the water is and I’ve seen no evidence on my first couple of trips of any flooding.
There was no dirt or rocks scattered across the road which is typical of flooding. Everything was clean and pristine, I thought
But I noticed something different today that I hadn’t seen before. Some of the low places have guardrails along the side and I started noticing that there was a lot of debris piled up against these rails. That debris could not have gotten there unless there was significant amount of water moving across the road. In fact it seemed to have been cleaned up and the debris pushed aside by workers. They must have been out early.
The rescue work continues. I hear there are other floods in other states. Pray for those who are in the thick of it and or some miracles along the way.
