What we thought was going to be a normal Tuesday became a tense, busy morning filled with moving the washer and dryer into the house, bailing water, and putting the computer and first floor books upstairs. With rainy season comes flooding. As you may know from facebook, we are experiencing this for the first time, so it's been disarming, kwim? Never knowing if the rain will slow down enough to allow the water to drain off...Will we have to move the refrigerators?...
Anyway, our kids went out to visit their friends and Aasha,the always curious investigator, visited around to neighbors. She was so upset because everyone we know is flooded.
We are particularly concerned for our next door neighbor, T, who I just met and chatted with on Monday, who has 4 dogs and some cats. We think she's alone.
So at 4 this morning we woke up to more lightening and thunder, but it stopped after 30 minutes. It's draining really slowly. We have learned since moving here that Bangkok is slowly sinking so the water has nowhere to go. That's why we are bailing water again today. And checking on T. Thanks for your prayers.
