Rain!!

A recent weather report down here said that we would need two feet of rain to get us out of the drought that we are in. We had gone 19 days without rainfall until last night. The remnants of Hurricane Humberto came through with force. It started raining around noon and continued on and off all last night. The only problem was that with the rain came wind, hail, and a few tornados. I sat and watched the news from 6-9 last night because the hardest hit areas were very close to us. One of the tornados was about a mile from our house. We never saw anyting or heard anything and from what I understand there wer no injuries or that much damage. Trees and fences mostly. One tree fell on a nursing home and praise the Lord there were no injuries. A camper was blown right off a truck in the parking lot of where I do my grocery shopping. There were several structure fires caussed by the awesome lightening. The major highway down here also turned into a skating rink. They said the road had goone so long without moisture that the oil on the road just made it so no one could stop. We ended up with a 17 car pile up that led to another 5 car pile up behind it going one way. Once they got that cleaned up there was another pile up on the other side of the highway involving a day care bus this time. Praise the Lord no one was seriously injured. I was glad to have Carl come home safely last night from work and to have a sturdy house. Thank goodness for the rain. We ended up getting over 2 inches. No where near 2 ft. but every little bit helps down here. I think as christians here on NC we need to be a little bit more specific in our prayers for rain. No tornados next time Lord.
