Rain, Rain Go Away

Today I am taking a break from talking about us to focus on someone else. For the past week the county we live in, especially our little town, has experienced some major flooding. It hardly ever rains here but it has been lately and that combined with the enormous amount of snow we've had this year has created quite a problem. I heard on the news here that this winter was the third snowiest on record. I know I always joke about how lucky we were to be able to experience that (not really), but as it gets warmer and all of that snow melts in the mountains-it is making its way downhill to our town. The quiet little Popo Agie river that flows so nicely all through our town is now raging waters. We live smack dab in the middle of town and thankfully have not had any problems but those who live near it have. It has destroyed bridges, houses, farms etc. National guardsmen have been here sandbagging and cleaning around the clock. I just wanted to take a moment to mention these people and ask you to keep them in your prayers. For a look at some of the damage check out this link: http://www.facebook.com/FremontCountyFlood2010
