The flash flood warning will last until 9PM Sunday night. Columbus is flooded. CRH is evacuated, Columbus Health and Rehab nursing home is evacuated, 17th street by the hospital is collapsed, Schaffer Lake dam and Princess Lake dam collapsed. Candlelight Village where my friend Wayne and his Mom live is evacuated. Last I heard they were not together when evacuation needed to happen. I hope they found each other. Thus far (my last phone check) Silver Oaks is okay but the water is getting too close for comfort for me. I can't get there so I have to trust them to take care of my Dad. It is going to be a long night. They say on the radio that things could get worse during the night. For the moment I have lights and the phone line. Lots of things are going through my mind tonight. The biggest thing is that we all need prayer. Here are some "after" pictures I promised earlier today.
For some reason I can't find the pictures I want to put in here. Maybe tomorrow. I just heard that the Schaffer Lake dam did not break as previously reported. I now have water! Whoopee! Now for some supper. My diet schedule is all off today. Just heard from Wayne-he is okay, at Lee's Inn in S/ville but he doesn't know where his Mom is.
I think I am going to bed. See you tomorrow.

Get some rest, Janet. I forgot to tell you in my email that water got within 4 inches of the church...according to Marvin. Some of the guys put the organ & piano on the platform & the put the musical instruments up out of harms way. Marvin said about 4:30 the water was receding some...
Janet...I cannot begin to describe to you what today was like at the hospital! I felt like we were in war!
