Sunshine, what's that?
Today was the first day in almost a week that we got the privilege of seeing a somewhat blue sky with a bit of sunlight shining through. It didn't last out the morning but we enjoyed while we could. Tropical Storm Fay took a pretty good beating on us up here in Orange City. There are neighborhoods in Debary (about 2 miles south) that are under four feet of water and had evacuations and rescue teams going door to door. I was pretty sure that our house and road would be flooded as we accumulate large puddles just from strong rain storms. Peter said the water level in the yard was pretty high but by the time I got home each
day, even though it was still raining, the water had completed receded and there weren't even puddles. We will see what happens in the next few days though. With the flood waters from Brevard expected to empty into the, already full, St. Johns River (about a mile from our house) we may be looking at taking boat from the front door instead of our cars. We continue to pray for drier weather and of course for those already suffering the aftermath of Fay. There are several streets in Orange City that are completely flooded and one of the music stores that Peter frequents is about a 1.5' underwater across the entire strip mall and parking lot, that's only about a mile East of us. We have had to take alternate routes out of our neighborhood to avoid the very large, but passable, standing puddles that have been growing with each rain fall. Hopefully in the next few days, we will see a decrease in the depth of water and dryer streets and houses.
