We would appreciate it if you would continue to pray for, respect, and give privacy to all of our afflicted families. The last line of the message was, “May the Lord continue to wrap His presence around all of us.”
A person who lived through the Texas floods relates a scary story.
On the Fourth of July, Amanda Sue Jones and her family got away from the Texas flood. She told CNN about what happened in a way that made it feel like it was still going on. She said that the floodwaters rose swiftly, “in a matter of minutes from when it was quiet and everyone was asleep to lights coming on slowly in the cabins and campers to them just being washed away.”
“It was just so fast,” she told CNN. “Everything seemed to be okay. There wasn’t much noise or activity, and it wasn’t a stressful period. But no one could see the water past this little bridge; it was like a wall of water came through.
“We were camping about 20 yards from a fork in the river that was like a small tributary,” Sue Jones said. We watched that closely because we were so close to it, and it kept firmly within its banks for a long time, even at night. The level of the water was rising, yet it stayed inside its banks. The choice to depart was decided when it started to migrate from the banks to the grass.
On Sunday, there were stories of people who tried to save others but ended up dying themselves. The community has come together in the face of this horrible disaster. There is pain, grief, and loss, but there are also stories of heroes.
