Kali and Brylie watching the rain
in front of Hillary house
3:00 am I wake up to Krew crying. As I am walking into his room I noticed the sound of water running, it sounded like a faucet. I look outside, is it raining? It was, it was raining so hard it sounded like rushing water, and it didn't let up. 7:00 am loud thunder and flashes of lightning, the rain has not let up at all. Kali woke up and asked me, "does this mean Jesus has died?" She got that from the movie, The Testaments, since the conditions were exactly the same. I turn on the news, it had been raining since 11:00pm. Flash flood warnings. 8:00am all the men head out to start making sand bags. We walk out side, homes are flooded, rain still not letting up. TVA community gets together and tries to channel the water away from the homes. 11:30 am E building moms really want to help, we start making sandwiches, and hot cocoa. We set up a table next to C building and slowly every one came over and started to eat, grateful for something to fill and warm their bellies. 1:30 pm rain stops. 2:30pm sun comes out and birds are chirping. It was so awesome to see everyone working together with such love, unity and service.
