Please spare a prayer if you can

Prayers being said. I hope the rain will let up for you. The Chicago area seems to be very dry again this summer, not as bad as a couple of years ago but days and days between rains. Some parts of the country have far too much rain and others have not had enough.

FYI. The Red Cross is mentioned in one of Adoremydogs posts so that is where I went seeking information. This is what it says.

Whoo hooo the flooding is actually getting better! You can see about 10 more feet of the road that was completely sunken before. It's weird, there are some dead, dried up minnows in the street, and in the flooding outside the back of our house there was a huge catfish. They have traveled a long distance, as the lake is quite a distance away.

Thank you all for the prayers. I hope the rainfall today doesn't make the flooding worse, but sofar it seems to be doing just fine. I'll take some photos of the flooding so you can see the improvement

Bless you all for the prayers. Please continue to pray for my neighbor. We haven't heard from her. I hope she and her unborn baby are doing OK where they are now.

I'm glad the weather is improving. I will continue to pray for you and your neighbor.

Leslie, I do hope the flooding continues to subside. That is so sad about your neighbor. I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this thread! Those photos are terrible. Please, continue to keep us posted. I will pray now, too, for you and your family. Let us know if there's anything we can do for you all.

It's good to hear the flooding has stopped. I feel so sorry for your neighbor
though. Did they have family to help them out at all?
