Aftermath

Wednesday, July 9, 2014
So we woke up this morning to a thunder and lightening storm. When I got on Facebook, there were reports of flooding all around the island. We are so lucky to live on a hill!!! Just in the neighborhood down from us, we had a member's house flood up to their knees! 
 The pic to the right is our church building! From what people are saying, it sounds like the flooding stopped at the other side of the street and the church is ok. 
 
It is a little scary to see random people's pics on Facebook and then all the sudden to see a friends house! In the left pic is where one of my good friend lives! They said the flooding has gone down now. 
 The pic to the right is just down the hill! Probably some of the same flooding that got our ward member's house. 
 
The reports are saying that as the storm turned East, we got stuck under one of the arms for an extended period of time (all night and morning) taking us from 5-7 inches of predicted rain up to 34!!! It also said that yesterday the "strongest winds on Kadena were 74-mph sustained with 101-mph gusts. Closest point of approach was 118½ miles west at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday." (Source).

Logan was supposed to go in today at 11am but all the roads are all flooded that he would have to take so it has been delayed until further notice. So here we are, still on lockdown and they are saying to be patient because the recovery process is going to take a while longer. This makes the 6th day in a row Logan hasn't had to go to work. I'm going to really miss him when he has to go back to a normal work schedule.
