I saw on the news today that the Cincinnati area is experiencing a lot of mudslides. I didn't know that this was a mudslide area. I thought they just happened in California. However, as this article in the Cincinnati Enquirer http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20110427/NEWS01/104280320 says, the silty soil and the excessive rain are a perfect mix for mudslides. The television news showed roads that had washed away. There is even a church that is in danger of having its foundation washed away.
As of today, we are on course to break the all-time rainfall record set back in 1937. If the rainfall predictions hold true, we will have received over 14 inches of rain in the month of April. Rivers are rising and everything is wet.
I invite you to join me in praying for all of those impacted by all of this rain. There are many who live near rivers whose homes are in danger of flooding. We have some of Habitat homes located in some of these area flood plains. I know those home owners must be feeling anxious.
Thanks for your prayers and for being a part of my journey!
