The start of the month for us started off rainy. It rained and it was so depressing. The storm started to get worse and the warnings started coming in on Saturday afternoon. Cayce was at work and was planning on staying overnight near work because he had to go back in at 5am. He said that the weather was so bad that the wind was shaking the car and he decided to risk it and come home. He called me and stayed on the phone with me the entire time and closer to home, the roads were just so awful. He had to detour several times. My brothers road was completely washed out. He got into the yard and went to back up and started spinning out.
Sunday morning when we woke up, which was a couple hours after he got home, we became glued to our Facebook feed. There was so much devastation coming in. My brother warning us that one of the roads leading to our house was shut down. My mom texting me telling me the same thing. We spent the whole day just relaxing and watching our Facebook feed. Cayce went out to take pictures. I am not going to be posting all of them, but the ones where I can tell where or what it is.
On Monday, while I was doing school with the girls, trying to keep some normalcy for them, Cayce went into our yard and took some videos of our property line and it was flooding and going towards the road that was closed. On Tuesday, The sun was coming out every now and then and it was so refreshing. Cayce was out of work for 2 days and went back on Wednesday. Our road was still closed off and there were many back roads just washed away and gone. Before he left for work, he went down to what caused our road shut down. It's scary, but the sun shining that day was so welcome.
On Sunday, a couple that lives on the other side of this gaping hole took a video and it showed water rushing through. It was disturbing.
This road just got fixed last week by the National Guard and other roads around us are just now being repaired.
The state of South Carolina has never had something this catastrophic on record since records started being kept in the 1920's. Our governor called it the thousand year storm.
I hope nothing like this ever happens again. Now we are seeing the same thing happen again in Mexico! Please pray for those people and keep them in your thoughts.
