Flooding in Central Ohio..

[anna_66]

Needless to say we've been keeping track on how things are going in Findlay and I can't imagine being one of the poor souls that have lost everything

Glad to hear Carrie and her gang are doing OK. I seen that a lot of the people down town didn't have flood insurance. I hope FEMA helps.

Diana, Amy had told me about what you've been going through lately and I'm so sorry to hear you haven't had any relief from the pain. I hope and pray that soon you will be feeling better.
(((HUGS)))

Weather Channel was talking about Findlay yesterday and Andy and I immediately thought of you all down there.

Diana, sorry to hear you are not feeling well.

Many thoughts and prayers for all of your Ohioans.

Even watching on the news, I'm not sure I understood how extensive the flooding in Findlay was, until I was looking at a slideshow one of my friends sent to me. There are a lof of pitcures and it loads slow (at least at work), but wow! There are basically 3 sets of pictures, with the middle set being some aerial views.

My thoughts and prayers are going out to all those affected by this. It's devastating, to say the least.

That slideshow is unbelievable. Findlay looks like a very nice town. I hope those folks get some relief soon and some help.

I've been checking in with friends in Findlay. One of the people I worked with also works at Marathon in downtown Findlay -- her family lost 2 cars in the flash flooding on Tuesday. She said the Marathon building is flooded so everyone is trying to work from home. Haven't heard from one friend who lives on 2nd st. (very badly flooded), and my other friend who lives on Washington Ave. said her house is ok but everyone around her is flooded. Her neighbors were all upset last year because the city changed the zoning regulations & REQUIRED they all have flood insurance in that area... Guess they're not so mad about it now!

Amy, one of my friends just sent me that video - so sad to see all the flooding. Especially the parks, that's where I used to take Star & Shermanto walk when the dogpark was flooded/muddy!

Sorry, I haven't posted yet. I am having some health problems and on some very strong pain meds.

I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling well, Mom. Thinking and praying for you. If you need anything let me know...

the local columbus news is filled with pictures, it seems that a front is stalled over you, and just 60 miles south, it's dry.
diana, i'm so sorry to read that you're not feeling well. sending you thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

PLEASE keep my friend Gwen & her family in your prayers. She & her husband lost their home in the flood in Findlay. She said it happened so fast, they didn't have time to move anything out. She has two min pins & a small mix-breed (she only got her about 4 weeks ago), and barely had time to grab the dogs when the rescue boat arrived. Pixie & Dixie & new girl were terrified during the rescue.

They are now homeless. The house will have to be stripped to the studs & rebuilt. Gwen & hubby are staying with a daughter & young grandson, but her dogs can't stay there. The pups are at "grandma's" for now, which is stressful for them.

Lower Wisconsin got it bad too. Upper WI is still in a drought. Where I live we got enough to revive some of the the dying trees, but no floods. All the victims of the flooding will be in my thoughts as they try to make it through this.

PLEASE keep my friend Gwen & her family in your prayers.

Prayers sent for your friend Pat!!

My heartfelt prayers are being offered for all who have met with disaster during these floods.

Let me know if I should cross-post if they need a temp foster home for the dogs. Or will they be able to stay at "Grandma's" for now?

I'll keep the family in my thoughts.

*sniffle* So VERY glad they were at least able to save the pups. It's sad though that they lost everything else.

I'll let her know, although I think they're fine where they are till Gwen & hubby resettle. If I hear otherwise, I'l let you know. Thanks.
