Its been raining for nearly two weeks now, after a very long period of beautiful warm sunny weather. We needed some rain, but not quite as much as we got, especially in the first couple of days. In the southern part of the state, where I work, there was severe flooding, and some people remain missing nearly a week after the floods tore through. It is a case of "there but for the will...", especially since one of the nurses lost her home to the floods. She and her family have lost everything--a tragedy no less great for them than for the people down in LA and MISS, and all the more touching because it is personal. I donated food and supplies to the Gulf Coast, and now we are taking up collections for the folks locally including earned time so that this nurse, a new employee, can have an income to tide her over while she begins the laborious and emotionally trying process of starting over.
Without further ado, flood photos:
