Please spare a prayer if you can

[AdoreMyDogs]

I'd appreciate some prayers. We are having some major flooding and we don't have flood insurance. We have just a short way to go (as you will see) before the flood reaches our house, but with prayers and NO MORE RAIN we may be spared. It's fine if our yard is submerged, but we just can't have anything happen to our house. It will ruin us. We don't have much money and we will lose everything. Please spare a thought and if you can say a prayer for us I would so appreciate it.

Leslie & family

Here are some photos of the flooding so you can see what's happening and the progression of it. They said the flooding has not reached it's peak yet, and the waters are still on the rise. We're just so hoping it stops. We're at a high risk for more t-storms also, so this is very scary indeed.

This was the park at the end of our house before the flooding got real bad. See the water back there? That was a big Campfire park with lots of trees, trails, a pool & yard toys for the kids to play with.


This is taken from aprox. the same spot (on my driveway) just a few hours later. Look at how much more flooding there is.


And here is the progression of the flood this morning




The enterance of Campfire USA taken yesterday


Two of my neighbors' houses that are destroyed. The one closest to me didn't have flood isurance either. They are also expecting a baby in 4 weeks.
They could use prayers, also


This was taken outside my backyard from the alley

Prayers for you and the other families....

Does the city have any sandbagging crews? Anything? Or is there just too much water to keep up with?

Again, prayers that the rain stops and the waters recede!

OMG! That is just too scary. Many prayers for the safety of your home.

Prayers for you and your neighbors. Before the flood gets there, I'd roll up all the carpet you can, and move any wooden furniture and electronics to the second floor, if you have one, or at least up on counters, just clear everything you can possibly get off the floors, and unplud electronics and get cords where they won;t touch water. Most of all, put clothes and photo albums in ziplock or other plastic bags, don't want to lose any precious wedding or pet or Quinn Willow photos!

[AdoreMyDogs]

We have no second floor, it's a ranch style home. We have hardwood floors, so if the water reaches our house, they are all destroyed. The water is coming too fast for sandbags, it came on so quick. There are certain parts of the city that are manditory evac., sofar, where we are is still voluntary evac., unless they announce otherwise.

There's not really any place to put our furniture and stuff, so we'll just have to pray that the water doesn't get much deeper and the flood doesn't grow more. It's all just so scary. It wouldn't be near as scary if we had flood insurance, but we are at mercy with mother nature now and we're just hoping she's kind to us

[chocolatepuppy]

Oh no, that's so scary. Prayers headed out to you and all of the people affected by the flooding.

[sirrahbed]

Oh my!! Dennis and I have said prayers for your family and will continue to do so. How scary this must be for you. Missy had mentioned all the rain - your neighborhood really has been affected. Also, sending (((HUGS)))

[Hellow]

Yes, prayers being sent. We in Northern Georgia are getting slammed with water, too. And its growing fast. Since our house is on level land we are especially at risk. But thankfully our street is lined with storm drains.

[lizbud]

Oh Leslie, that is so scary. Prayers from me for sure. I do hope this
all stops, and soon.

Moff, been thinking about you also, when I learned that the Kansas area
also has been having all this rain too.

[krazyaboutkatz]

How scary. I'm so sorry to hear this. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

My brother and his family live in Frisco,TX and I know that it's also been raining a lot there too but I don't think that it's been flooding there yet.
