We made the Weather Channel. Kirksville got 13.4 inches of rain in 24 hours. Welcome to the monsoon season.
Our old girl was not totally immune to this mess but she came out ok. Wallace e-mailed me last night that there was water in the church undercroft. I went down there about 6:30 p.m. last night (Friday) and there was standing water on the tile and at worst, about 3/4 of an inch of water in the lowest spot in the kitchen. Krista and Tim and Debby and I shop-vac'ed till 11:30 p.m. We pulled up the carpet in the nursery and shop vac'ed it and put it up on chairs to try to dry it. We'll see how it goes.
I was thinking, as I was falling asleep, board stiff from exhaustion, "our congregation is small, our resources are limited, but damn, we sure have a fair number of people who love our old girl Trinity Church." Nice feeling to fall asleep to, and it made a little of the stiffness abate!

God have mercy. Well good on you all for your work and really for what it represents, community and great love.
That is an astonishing amount of rain.
I hope the church ends up ok.
Good thing your church has you and the others who hold the community close.
I heard Kirksville mentioned on TWC again this am, while I was in the motel in Sioux City. Thought immediately of you.
