Well, that was an interesting weekend! My area has escaped any major flooding, but all around us there is near devastation.

 

I was out in the car on Sunday morning and there were literally hundreds of people milling around looking shell shocked, most with whatever worldly possessions they could carry in bags and rucksacks. I did what I could to help, but it wasn't enough.

 

I've seen various folks from the local farming community or local workers with machinery are out this morning just doing what they can to help. I'll go out again later.

 

At least I can get home to a dry house, but I really feel for those affected. I read that there was likely more similar storms on the way this winter.

 

Lets hope not!
