Isaac is Passed us, but the Rains and Wind Continue

Thankfully the worst of the storm is passed and now we are having rain and some gusting winds.  We have not heard any reports of severe damage in our area, but we were informed that the southern coast of Haiti was hit hard.  This was where the storm made landfall during the night.  At this point our concern is flooding for those living in low areas that are prone to flooding.  We are expected to get a significant amount of rain from this storm over the next few hours.

This morning Kyrk discovered that a tree in our yard had fallen down and was resting on the main power lines.  To prevent the power lines from breaking, the tree had to come down.  Thankfully we have rain suits for these kinds of situations and Roger, Scott and Kyrk cut the tree down and pulled it off the power lines.

Thankfully there are not many other trees down on the mission property, but there is going to be plenty of clean up on Monday with several branches down and other debris.


Deciding the best way to get in down.
