From South Florida where we suffered major 500 to 1000 year flooding incident, our hearts go out to you in Iowa and Minnesota.

Brazil went to the same in some parts of the country. Southwest was hit hard. People loses houses, life’s, Brigde’s were destroyed and the economy suffered. God bless the American people.

“Unprecedented times”, aka new normal.

Dont worry folks! The vast majority says this totally NORMAL! All of this floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, war, violence and hate has all been happening for billions of years! If anything things now is the best it's ever been! 😊👍💪

He’s right when you redirect the water from somewhere else you’re creating the problem that we’re having👈

*REMEMBER - YOU COULD HAVE ALL STOPPED THIS* by changing your lifestyle when the scientists told you "its easier to act now than suffer later"

Best way to keep memorables like photos is keeping a separate email to send photos, google backup, and USB .

The places not used to all the rain are getting it…..those of us used to it aren’t getting a drop. It’s not rained here in weeks and we usually have mushy ground this time of year. I’m watering the dang lawn at this point. I never water the lawn.

Prayers lifted 🙏
There is nothing natural about these floods happening worldwide at record level.
Seriously everywhere?
Coincidence I don't think so. 🤔

I’m praying for these flooded communities. Miami Florida and now this State 😢❤️‍🩹. They will need FEMA Services ASAP.

In times like this, when you don't have a home, remember that many Americans didn't have a home all year last year and all this year, and have had to live on the streets. There called the homeless. When you get to put your home back together and get to live in comfort again the homeless is still out there, needing a room. Let try to convince the USA leadership to help these people in there time of need and those homeless people that are in need everyday. Reminders

This is what happens when you build in a flood plain.
