Hurricane Harvey

Short answer is, I am great. My street is now dry and for the last 24 hours it's staying clear. Considering that yesterday morning, I thought it was time to start moving the furniture upstairs, that's just amazing. This morning if you look outside my house, you'd think the news was about another country or something.

My kids all checked in this morning. The devastation in Katy is unbelievable. They're saying some of those homes that flooded last night when they opened that damn will have water inside for 2 months. That is unheard of. One of my kids lives in Katy with a newborn and she said the water came up in about 30 minutes but it never entered her home. This morning her street is clear again.

Another lives in Mid-town and her street is also clear. People are being rescued by boat all around her. She and her friends are hearing stories from their network that will make your hair curl. They're about to take in an 87 year old who was rescued by boat last night and her cat

Okay so here's the thing-- yesterday, the water was rising and rising. In a thread above, you'll see that Tiffany and I were both talking about the scripture of the flood coming out of the dragon's mouth and the earth opening it's mouth to save the woman. Well, I decided to take that one to the Lord and just start asking the earth to open it's mouth and help us out around here. I mean if we're acting out some type of end times scenario, why not? Sure wasn't going to hurt anything.

About an hour later in the middle of a downpour, my street clears, I'm praising God and go back to checking the news.

This morning, my daughter tells me that her boyfriend's mother told her that the only reason her house didn't flood is that a *sinkhole* opened up on Beltway 8 and drained the water near their house. She sent me the video.

A sinkhole! I checked the timing and it corresponded to when my street drained, maybe an hour or so beforehand which would be real close to when we were praying. It's also near my house-- I am right by Beltway 8, about 2 miles north of the location. The boyfriend's mom said she's hearing from her friends that sinkholes are opening all around town.

Now isn't that something. If there's a way to post a video, let me know and I'll let you guys see it

By the way, the boyfriend and his entire family are believers, praying folks who love the Lord. They believe this is miraculous. I haven't heard one report of people that I know are walking with the Lord getting flooded-- I'm not saying that no Christians are going through this trial, just that there ate many, many reports of people I personally know who should be flooded out but are still dry.

Connie, how do you have the video? What format and size is it? I may be able to provide a server to put it on and then put a link to it for you.

in Michigan... The effects of Hurricane Harvey are already spinning the weather up here. Had to pull off the road to higher ground and wait it out. Many roads were closed from the flash floods and torrential rain. Watched cyclone clouds start to spin. Been praying for those in Texas and Louisiana. Have friends in Louisiana.
