Nauti Nurse....

My hometown is fighting flooding hard. So much damage already from the rains prior....mud slides happening, closing off roads. It’s worse than Agnus and many have stated such.

Sister and hubby are watching their creek which is raging like a river...mud up over bridge so has closed them off on that end...but access still open the long way around. Don’t know how long the bridge will hold...it’s steel and iron and looks to be unstable to say the least.......their flats are totally flooded......house sits up on a good size knoll...but concerning because it’s creeping up the hill so they are on high alert tonight.

The whole area is battling this...it’s very very bad.

There are states of emergency in at least three counties in Central NY.

Parts of the NYS Thruway I90 are closed down again.

I could not believe the amount of rain we got yesterday and the day before; it must have been about 5 inches. It was more rain than came with Hurricane Irene.

The forecast today was for a lot more rain and before it even started the sky started clearing and we had a reasonably sunny, mild day. That was a real blessing as we did not need any more rain.

I wish there was some way we could transport it down to TX.....as rain.

The flooding is tragic. Prayers offered for everyone in the path of the raging water.
