    Talking Building an arc - taking one of each

    Okay, I'm building an arc and taking one of each of my family and 2 pets. Anyone want to come along?

    We've now had 3 inches of rain with another 3 to come. Roads are flooding, my basement has water in it even though the sump pump is working 24/7, the fields are covered in water.

    This is covering the whole province. We've are breaking records everywhere for the most rain in June.

    I broke down and bought a rain guage today just to see how much rain. Since 3:30 p.m. - its not 10:14 p.m, we've had an inch of rain. Its coming down in buckets.

    Anyone have any instructions on building an arc.

    btw - we could use some prayers and good thoughts. If the power goes off, were in BIG trouble.

    Swing the ark by here to pick us up, please! Yesterday's rainfall bumped us into the 2nd position for wettest June in recorded history and more rain is forecasted for today and is predicted to move us into the 1st position.

    Kim, we broke a record too. We had the highest rain fall in June and broke a record of 55 years.

    The main problem is all of our province is being affected by this, not just a specific area.

    I wish CJ and Kim would send the rain to us!! We are in a drought with temps in the 100's. It is miserable!

    Hope your rain stops soon.

    Ah, well I was told to pray for rain as we are in a drought and the ground has huge cracks in it.

    So, I've been praying for rain, and I've been getting specific about it too. We need rain HERE!

    We finally got a little bit and it helped some but we need more.

    Hopeing the rain stops very soon CJ and all of you girls breaking records in your areas.

    We haven't had rain for a few months but July starts our desert Monsoon Season. We're supposed to start getting some by July 12 according to the weather man. I dread it as everything will be a muddy mess!
