Lots and lots of rain = flash flood

We've had a LOT of rain today, and I noted that our creek had risen significantly in the early afternoon. (A little higher than previous pictures I've posted.) However, I'm sure you can imagine my shock when I looked out the window around 4:00 and discovered that the creek had completely flooded its banks.

I am very thankful that as of right now, the constant rain we've had since around midnight last night has paused and given the creek some time to recover. As I type this just after 5:00, the water is no longer covering our driveway and the only water on the road is that which spills over from the poor drainage across the road. However, as of an hour ago, this was the scene at our home.


Incredible!

The rains are just getting here tonight-pretty gentle and steady but without the winds. Amazing to see the power God displays, isn't it?!
