Historic Rain

This week is Fall Break for our county's school system. The kids get an extra week off since they start the school year earlier than other counties around us. Since Ryan is out of school this week we took a 5 day vacation with some other families that we are close to. Before we even left there were a few days of sporadic rain, but since we have been gone there have been record breaking rainfall. In the town next to ours, where a few of our friends live, there has been almost 20 inches of rain in less than 3 days. Roads are being washed away, people are drowning in what was their backyard and homes are being flooded.

We have been blissfully unaware of this trauma since the weather in Panama City Beach has been so nice. Before we left I kept a close eye on the weather here is PCB. The forecast showed some rain which I prayed would not be the case. The weather has been so pleasant until today. We have had some isolated storms here and there, but so far we have been truly blessed. There will be pictures posted of the vacation later. Tonight we are hoping to get our family's picture taken at sunset on the beach, then off to a good seafood dinner and prayers that our trip home tomorrow is uneventful.
