Alex is Knockin On Our Door

Well...here we are, one day before I am supposed to fly outta here and we're being severly hit by Hurricane Alex. Actually....Alex hasn't even hit yet. He's now only hours away from hitting this town. The countdown is on. We're expecting winds up to 75 mph and about 2 more feet of rain ON TOP OF the 2 feet we already have.

We're doing all that we can to prepare. We are so flooded that water on the other sides of the concrete walls is building too much pressure that we are having to knock holes in to the wall or else the wall would just collapse.

We're also building drainage systems.

We're stocked up on food and water. We're already locked in here. The roads outside Back2Back are completely flooded and one of the bridges is about 10 feet underwater from the water from the river flooding it.

Here's some pictures:


This is what used to be the path from my house to LDM...


Part of the drainage system we needed to make so that waters wouldn't flood in to the dorms in LDM.


Well...this is what used to be our basketball court...


And...this is our driveway...

This isn't even the worst of it. And here at Back2Back, we've got coverage and shelter. I can't imagine the destruction at the Rio's. Please....please...be praying.
