note on flooding

it continues. its bad. one storm dropped over 70mm of rain in one hour in a nearby city. that's well over 20 inches of rain for you non-metric folk. people have died (not in my town, but nearby). our mud houses are in danger of falling down. mine seems to be weathering the weather really well, considering its previously decrepid state. only minor leaking, and not in a way that makes me worry. a village up the river valley that is located directly below a cliff is in danger of a landslide.
as far as i can tell i am safe (or as safe as i can be) but we could use prayers. we could also use a forest. we could also use a long break in the rain.
