Sending prayers and please stay safe.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

Praying and crossing fingers  for you that the rains let up and the water diverts around your houses.

@BabyYoda

 

The rain did finally stop!

 

But more possible today and early next week! UGH!

 

Houses spared from taking on any water (thank heavens!).

 

A lot of damage to drives. Large areas washed out, many tons of dirt and gravel to be moved out of yards and back into drives. Two of the three driveways on our two properties are impassable at this time. Need to get the one at my mom's fixed first, as I worry that emergency vehicles don't have close access to her home should there be any kind of problem up there.

 

Still pumping water out of the pond, in case more storms dump heavy rains in the next week. It is a given that the ground is saturated, and the ponds uphill from us are full to capacity, so at least if that all runs downhill in another storm, we have more capacity to hold their overflow, before it all comes spilling out of ours again! 

 

Kind of dampens the whole CIJ spirit I look forward to all year, as we will be working outside a lot this weekend.

 

But so grateful that we had no water damage to houses, barns and garages. 

 

Thanks to everyone for the prayers and good thoughts!

I am so glad @Mominohio that the rain stopped and you did not have water damage. Sorry you have a big cleanup to do at your home and your mom's this weekend and it puts a dent in you enjoying watching the CIJ shows. I do hope you get to enjoy a show or two to watch.

Re: Prayer request please UPDATE

Just noticed we are still under a flood warning in this area. Lots of run off, and it will take time for the waters to recede. 

 

Hoping for a week with no rain, but that is not the forecast!

Re: Prayer request please UPDATE

Thinking of you and sending prayers your way @Mominohio!  ❤️

 

We haven't had much rain here in my part of South Carolina, but it's been extremely windy this week.  A few days ago a tree fell on my neighbor's house.  Half the roof is caved in and it knocked down most of the side (a brick wall). They have evacuated and are fortunate no one was hurt.  

 

So glad that you, your family, and your homes are okay.  Sounds like a lot of work ahead, but you can get through this.
