The floods have lifted up...
"The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice, the floods have lifted up their pounding waves" - Psalm 92(93):3
That became a reality this morning as the floods in Dagat-dagatan reached an unprecedented high, breaching the flood barriers around the parish compound and entering the church. Fortunately, it wasn't raining today... but the high tide levels are predicted to go up over the next few days yet! The waters are extremely polluted, a putrid black and emit a foul stench. Scum and debris float on the surface and people desperately wade through it to get to school. A planned trip to town this morning was cancelled on account of the flooding. But life goes on, cheerily and resolutely and the waters have already begun to recede!
The photos above, taken hours ago show a flooded street, the local High School where I taught (flooded) and a unique taxi-conveyance for high tides, called a "styro-boat"!
