Would invite those who find the great comfort in prayer and being the hands and feet of faith to remember the folks that are dealing in the flood zones of Texas. Know we have a lot of members on Mingle from there and want to say we are aware of your hardships. Hang in there. Also aware many of the communities in the Midwest have already had a very tough storm season. Please post if you are in need. Mingleland does care.

As shocking as this has been my niece reminded me today about some FB messages she & I had exchanged back in 2011 about the 'prayers for rain' because of the drought they were suffering through!

Take Care and be safe
Praying for you all

Don't think we will be complaing about a drought anytime soon. I swear the animals are pairing up

Praying for our friends in Texas.

Please remember Oklahoma as well.

Praying for you all in Texas and Oklahoma

Yes the great state of Oklahoma and Kansas have really gotten the brutal hand of nature. Other neighboring states as well. I have a neighbor that has gone to Missouri now for five years running trying to keep ahead of storm damage.

May God save Texas folks from the dangers of the storm. Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holly Spirit...
Amen.

Sending Prayers out to all those in the flood areas.

Still keeping you all in prayers. Know it can sometimes feel like once you slip from the headlines people are forgetting but want all our Mingle family to know thinking good thoughts for you.

Keep checking in and by all means tell us what you need.

The Eastern Texas and Oklahoma area could be hit with more flooding.....

"" Regardless of whether or not 91L becomes
Tropical Storm Bill before it makes landfall,
the system will post a distinct threat of
serious flooding over a broad swath from
eastern Texas into Oklahoma. Both states
just experienced the wettest single month in
their history, and soils remain near
saturation. Even without such a worrisome
precondition, systems like 91L are notorious
for producing enormous amount of rain,
sometimes with tragic results. 91L has a
large and very moist circulation, and steering
currents will be weak as the system slowly
moves around a strong, hot dome of high
pressure over the Southeast. Slow-moving
systems need not be intense prior to landfall
to generate huge rainfalls once they’re inland,
as demonstrated by a number of Gulf of
Mexico systems during June and July, when
upper flow is often listless. Tropical Storm
Allison is a textbook example: in June 2001,
Allison drifted into east Texas, then circled
back southward and made a second landfall
in Louisiana, dumping as much to 38” of rain
over six days across parts of the Houston
area. Catastrophic flooding from Allison killed
at least 41 people and caused some $9
billion in damage. Michael Lowry, hurricane
specialist with The Weather Channel, points
out that three of the five wettest tropical
cyclones on record for the U.S. mainland
occurred in Texas, and none of them attained
hurricane strength. These include Allison as
well as Tropical Storm Claudette, which led to
a national 24-hour rainfall record on July
25-26, 1979, near Alvin, Texas—an
astounding 42 inches (possibly underreported
by as much as three inches due to an
overflowing gauge, according to NOAA).""

Ya'll Texas folks stay safe.....read a post on another site that said 10-14 inches of rain for some areas. Was just a post I cant link it.
