We had a torrential downpour. There has been significant flooding from the burn scars. I am posting photos of what happens when it rains on burn scars.

The National Guard just drove past with people who were rescued. They are seated in the back of those huge truck things you see used in floods. There were two of them. A helicopter is flying overhead.

This is the State Highway 48 (street name Mechem) going north out of the village.

There are so many disasters going on in our country, one doesn't know which one to tune to to read about first.

Poor Houstonians with no electricity and no AC in that horrid steam bath of a climate.  At least an army of electrical workers have assembled to help.

@Kachina624 My Neice lives just outside Huston and she got her power back this am.  I was so relieved to hear that.  

Holy Cow!!  That burn scar flooding is terrifying.  I am definitely wary of any water problems.  Totally scary to me.  We spent $10K this year getting our creek crossing and driveway fixed due to so much rain compromising our crossing.  It has rained so much the past two years that the creek has actually flooded over our crossing because the rains are so heavy and over filling the creeks.  Our crossing (culvert I think?) is bigger, stronger and safer now.

That looks horrible and so scary.

So sorry to read about all horrors in nature of which we have no control. All I know to do is pray and I will continue to do that...

@On It The horrible hits just keep on coming! That is so terrifying to see and I will continue to pray for all who have been impacted by this situation as well as all of those impacted by the other natural disasters happening right now...just heartbreaking 😢

@Kachina624 I just talked to a friend of mine in Houston and they are still without power.  Well, power has not been restored in his neighborhood yet, but he has a whole house generator and is getting by.  So much weather misery everywhere!

@On It Scary.  It seems like one disaster after another.  Extreme heat, wildfires, flooding.  The first responders must be exhausted.

@On It 

WOW thanks for the update.

The fires have really taken their toll.

I am sending wishes...

We had a story on our local news a few days ago that a squad of firefighters made up of volunteers from various departments around our state were heading out your way to help with the flooding and wildfires.
