This is the view from Howard Merrell's boat at Lake Moomaw Friday evening.
This was the view minutes later when the storm of 2012 hit. I have never seen a storm move in that fast. We were barely able to get the boat to shore and had to walk it onto the trailer. In the process I fell in the lake. :) In the mean time Kathy Merrell and Elaine were holding on for dear life on the floating dock at Cole's Point. We got home at 3 AM that morning after waiting for hours for a crew to come and cut trees out of the way. Needless to say we will never forget the storm of 2012.
This was the morning after at the church, our vbs sign didn't weather the storm very well.
This was the lone tree damaged on our property, we thank God for the minimal damage the church recieved from the storm.
In spite of storms, gas shortages and no ice the American spirit lives on. Here is Ray and Sue Livick from our church getting ready to ride in the Clifton Forge July 4th parade.
Hope your power is back on and all is well with you and your family.
An old gospel song went like this "
Keep me safe till the storm passes by ... " these word rang true for us in these last few days.
Hope to see you Sunday
