Nurse's Week

We had a great lunchceon at work yesterday in celebration of national
nurse's week. Amazing how pretty our breakroom can look with a little
help. If you see a nurse thus week give them a hug!!

The flood water level

Yesterday one of the photos I put on my blog showed the flood level
was 46ft and the water was 59ft and rising. It got up to over 62ft
last night and is hanging right there ever since. Kevin is headed to
see if he can get some video of what the church and surrounding area
looks like.

He says he is not swimming to get video though. There is 70 million
gallons of raw sewage pumping into the water daily. The sewage
treatment plant was flooded and had to be evacuated too. Same thing is
going on upstream in Nashville. So Clarksville is getting a double dose.

Wow! It is all hard to imagine!

Awaken Church is under water

Sometime today the Cumberland River hit 13 feet above flood stage. I think that number was before it actually hit its highest point. Awaken Church lost everything except their expensive electronic equipment which was located high in the building. The shop owner next door had a boat that they took the equipment out in. I know Kevin will blog more details, but thought you'd want to know this much. They appreciate everyone's prayers so much. Kevin says he is getting a great workout swimming to help with rescuing stuff from Lassiters too! One Lassiters store is located very near Awaken Church.

As I worked out at Curves today I could just imagine the Curves in Clarksville that I have been to. It is in the same parking lot as the church. As I got on each piece of equipment I could picture where the water is on that equipment in Clarksville. Curves is blocked from view by the poster in this last photo.

It is hard to imagine how much damage there is in Clarksville, Nashville and surrounding areas. Mind boggling that that much water can fall in 48 hours.

Awaken Church is flooded

Kevin and Denver waded through chest high water to get into the
church. They moved up high anything they could salvage. They can't
take anything out because they would need a boat to remove it in. The
water is supposed to rise 2 more feet before it subsides. They had
everything insured, but not flood insurance. Jenn sounds good. I cried
when I saw the picture. I will be able to post that after I get off
work. Jenn says they have shed some tears too but they are doing fine
and will need to wait until the water subsides before they really know
what to do.

Flooding

Kevin just texted that the river is supposed to rise 2 mire feet. He
is on his way to see what he can rescue from the church and from
Lasaters coffee at that location.

Flooding in TN

The first picture is where Kevin's church had their sunrise service on
Easter. Yesterday the place was submerged under 4 ft of water. Today
you might not be able to see it. The cars are flood destruction near
Clarksville. The very wide river is the street and parking lot near
Kevin's church this morning. He has not yet been able to get to the
church to see if it flooded last night. It will be a miracle if it
didn't. Please pray for Awaken Church, Kevin & Jenn and Tennessee. The
flood damage is massive and mind boggling. Kevin & Jenn's house was
spared and they are all okay. We know that God is in control of even
flood waters and He has a plan though we might not comprehend it just
now.
