As we drove into this little area, pretty far from the river, my excitement and fascination turned into guilt. I wept as I watched people prepare for the very first catastrophic event of their lifetime. I didn't realize the severity of the situation until I saw it unfolding before my eyes. I was sad, but enlightened at how these people became one machine and helped fill and stack sandbags around eachothers houses. I am a nature freak, I love weather, and everything that has to do with it but I had never had these things hit so close to home before. Keep the ohio valley in your thoughts as this unfolds. I'm sure some of you are probably living this too. I do not live in the flood zone, but my heart goes out to those that do. This little epiphany today has inspired me to go bag up some houses tomorrow. =) I'm not usually one to write stuff like this but I had to share it with someone.
