We have had hard rains for 3 days straight and now the river we live by is near flood stage. They are saying this is not the typical flood...worse!

I have lived by the river all my life, but am slightly worried this time

Thank you for your prayers.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. The river is receding, but storms are approaching, so not out of danger yet.

Thanks Kat for your update. So glad that the crops weren't damaged....I remember back in the early 70s when I was little, them losing the winter crop to some major storming and how devastating it was to my family and all of the other farmers in the area.

Haven't been on lately since I have been doing conferences...thank goodness that is over They went fairly well...only one strange one!

The river has gone down and all is okay at the moment. Seems like it will be an on-going thing most of the winter. We are having lots of wind now, but we haven't lost our power yet.

Thanks for thinking of me and checking in on me...you are all the best!!!

kat, i live just south of you, in north carolina. will be sending good vibes north to you and your family. izzy

Funny I just read yours and looked to see where you were! I live in Graham, WA and had to stay home that Tuesday because of HWY 410 flooding. Wasn't going to take my 4yr old and 10 month old in that. My boss gave me a hard time but to get out I'd have to cross too many flood areas in Orting. Sorry so late seeing this. I feel your pain with it! We also lost power Wed. ( my b-day!) for over 12 hours. Running around in the dark looking for my kids!

Been a while since we heard from you.

I keep hearing about your weather on TV. How is your river doing?

Kat,

Still praying for you and for my family.....I know that they probably haven't harvested yet (if memory serves me correctly, they usually harvest around Thanksgiving time?), so praying for no major crop damage for them and all the other farmers in your valley.

So glad that things are not as bad as originally predicted!

So glad to hear that things look like they are improving. I hope that it continues to recede and that the rain stops soon.

Lori.... Yes, that would be the river that runs by the Deyo farms.

Things have settled down some, so no evacuations yet. I am off work today because of flooding issues in my school district. DH is off too since his school bus routes are all in the flood zone.

It is still raining and the river should crest by 4pm today. Last night the worst predictions ever were being stated and now things are not as bad as they have been. New technology can sure put the fear in you!

Kat, is that the river that runs near the Deyo family farms?

Praying for everyone there.....you and my family! Please let us know how things are going.

Be safe. I hope everything turns out ok.

Take care of you and yours, I'll be thinking of you.

Thanks for all the kind words, thoughts and prayers. We are probably evacuating in the morning.

Prediction is that it will be the highest on record. Time will tell

Kat, I'll send my prayers, too, but please take a lesson from Katrina and don't wait till it's too late to get out of there!

Prayers going up for you Kat!!

You have my prayers too and for your whole community.

Absolutely, will do.

Dawn

I included "all members on the board who might need help" in my prayer this morning, hours before I read this.

Sending best wishes and prayers to you and your community.
