Hope all in NC are doing ok with all this rain!
Yesterday/last night we got 9 inches
Wow!!! 9 inches? What State are you in? We are in NC and I may have briefly shared previously, we "converted" out of Christianity but not to
Judaism. We just simply now follow YHWH's Torah and accept His people as our people and their Elohim (God) as our Elohim... (much like Ruth vowed to Naomi)....and only follow the Hebrew Scriptures now, not the Greek NT writings.
Anyway, we just were to have celebrated one of the Feasts of YHWH (Yahowah/Yahovah) called "The Feast of Tabernacles" or Hebrew word is "Sukot". What this Feast is, is a re-enactment for one week, where we camp out in tents or some type of "sukah" (temporary booth/shelter etc.). He said this was to remind us of when He brought us out of Egypt and we dwelt in sukot for 40 years in the wilderness.
Well, this Feast began at dark on Wednesday evening. It was pouring down rain and thundering, etc., then so we never made it out to the back of our 3 acres here on the property to where we set up "camp" that night. Then it rained all day long! Heavily most of the time! There was finally a break in the weather around 5:30 pm here Thurs., so we took our Bibles, computers, pj's, etc., down to our "camp" then and were making the bed and arranging things the way we wanted in the tent and it began to pour down rain again, thunder, and then the
winds picked up tremendously and were gusting up to 39 mph!
As we sat there talking on the air mattress, the sides of the tent would blow way in and touch the bed on one side, then on the other side! Then the wind came up under the floor of the tent and it looked like some wild critter was crawling up under the floor! LOL More thunder, gushing downpours of rain and extremely loud thunder!!!
My husband just had to make a command decision there and he decided that it really was not very wise nor very safe to stay out in a tent in that type of weather!!! Just then it stopped raining completely!
So, he began stuffing our pillows and blankets etc., back into the large outdoor trash can size black trash bags to keep them dry and I was putting Bibles, miscellaneous items and our pc's back into the basket we used to bring it down there. He ran back up front to grab the 4 wheel drive truck and over to our 2 room netted gazebo to snatch up our microwave and threw all of it in the front seat next to me and we hauled it back up to the house!
No sooner did he get our covers, pillows, pc's, Hebrew Scriptures and me, back up into the house and we let the dog out to do her business and there came the thunder and a huge deluge of rain again!!! We weren't sure if we were re-enacting the time out in the wilderness or the time of Noah's flood??? LOL
Anyway, we finally went out on Saturday I think it was, down there to go get something out of the tent and our brand new, 3 room, instant pop-up tent was all ripped up to shreds!!! The roof was collapsed down into the inside of the tent and all the poles were snapped and broken!!! He wanted to get our 2 pole lamps out of the tent we had left and one of them had fallen over onto the ground and was floating in 16 inches of water inside our tent floors!!!
The other pole lamp had also fallen over. However it landed into a yard chair that we had inside the tent so it stayed out of the water. He brought it up and plugged it in and it still works! Still, the rains persisted and the winds and the loud thunder crashes! My husband said that also, back there in our "camp" area, the natural rain run off "gully" sounded and looked like you could get a raft and go white water rafting in there!!! Then it overflowed in one spot and came rushing, flooding, across our property to the other side back there!
Still it hadn't let up for more than 5 or 10 minutes a few times, so our tent still sits back there with it's 16 inches of water, with the floating air mattress and the floating pole lamp!!! It is supposed to finally stop raining on Tuesday! 0 % chance of rain and be 73 degrees and sunny and 10 % on Wednesday and 79 degrees. So we are going to go out there Tuesday morning and try to dump the water out of the ripped up tent and then stick a few branches under it to open it up a bit and let the sun begin to dry it out some!!! Then when all the stuff is dried out from the week of sun and all the waters are abated from off the earth......lol......we can finally break camp!!!
Just sooo glad that my hubby had enough wisdom to insist that we NOT camp out in a tent in that weather!!! Only the tent collapsed but we have a lot of trees back there! That's why we chose back there as it would be shady and not too hot during the day! But with all of that wind gusts and rain, one of those trees could have easily come uprooted and fallen down on one of our tents!!! On one of us!!!
We miss it though! We always look forward to this time of year, camping and studying for a whole week with our friends!!!
So what State do you live in??? Did your city have any flash flooding in the roads? Any flooding into houses and businesses in town? How did your chickens, turkeys, and goats all make out this past week???

Do you make cheese and butcher bucks for goats meat? I'd love to purchase a cut of goats meat from ya! A roast maybe? I'm wanting to taste goat and if we like it, we want to raise goats too! I wouldn't mind making the cheese to sell, but we don't care for goats cheese. That's why I am wanting to find someone around near us so we can try out what the meat tastes like. I've heard that if the goat is around it's first year that it tastes a lot better then. Is that true?
