The Rains Have Come Down
... and the floods have come up. That's a line from a children's song we sing at church. It's about Jesus' parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders. Now that I've said that, remember last week when I'd mentioned it had been raining a lot? Here's a bit of an update:
I spotted this Flood Emergency story from NBC22. Most of the crops in the farmlands located in the northern Miami Valley are under water. A picture in the Dayton Daily News last week showed that Grand Lake Saint Mary's spilled over into the surrounding area.
Dayton is situated downstream from where this heavy rain occurred. Hence, as the water recedes in the northern area, some areas of Dayton are sure to get flooded. One such area is Island MetroPark, which is about 5 minutes from where we live. We were actually thinking of having Keisha's birthday party there next Saturday. Based on pictures from the Dayton Daily News and our own experience from driving by, I'm glad we changed the venue to our place.I'm sure there will be more.
