Its been a LONG week. For those of you that haven't heard my area in Southwest Washington has had a horrible flood. *sigh*
Luckily, we live on a big hill and so we stayed nice and dry but many of our friends weren't so lucky.
We know six families that lost EVERYTHING to the floods. No people were hurt but they have no homes, clothing or basic supplies like soap and toothbrushes.
It's so strange to see everything that you've com e to know and depend on changing so drastically in such a short amount of time.
My best friend had over three feet of water in her home. Luckily (for her) the dike that was keeping the water on her side of the river broke or else her home probably would have been gone completely.
Another friend had five feet of water in her home. They came home and their garage had completely washed away.
The people that we get our CSA(Community Supported Agriculture=Veggies) through had 10 feet of water in their home. They Lost a $10,000 garlic crop and so many perrenial herbs and berry bushes. I don't know how they'll afford to keep going. It's been SO crazy around here.
Wal-Mart, Home Depot, K-Mart several dozen other stores had several feet of water in them as well.
