Hail and Water

June 4, 2005, Midwest Kansas, Junction City from 2:30pm to 6:30 pm two thunderstom fronts colided in this area, downloading golf ball sized hail, and turrental rains that caused flash flooding everywhere. Many of the streets were filled with rivers of overflow. My car was parked in the street alongside work; City Ice Co. It was were I always parked it. This street is at the base of the city's East Side slope. I was assisting with deliveries to south Kansas. At 11:30 pm when we returned home, I opened the door to the car to see some water pour out of the door well. The water got up high enough to fill my cup holders, as it "flooded" the engine. One crank of the engine caused a water pistol from the muffler. Over a half hour later, the washed out car finally started. Running rough and still leaking water from the exhaust pipe and floor boards. The mildew smell lasted for days.
This story echos across the town. Basements and cars flooded. Lawns washed away, retaining walls striped down, limbs and leaves everywhere. From near drought conditions, to overflowing rivers and streams in a matter of minutes. People are at awe with nature. Yet, are we to forget God's awesome powers. He washed away our sins with his Healing Waters; Love.
