They’ve found numerous unidentified bodies and they’re verifying ID’s by flying DNA samples to closest state lab.
This 22-year-old woman was swept away while sleeping in her tent in the middle of the night. She was camping with her mother, father, sister, aunt, and uncle – who are all missing. She’d traveled in the water for over 20 miles, over four dams, under bridges, all the while fighting off RVs and refrigerators…everything you could imagine in the water, until she finally was able to catch a tree and cling to it. The original report explained how the family that first heard her and went and got rescuers brought her into their home – the rescuers had to leave and move on. The family gave her warm clothes, food, and helped her call her grandparents and her cousin, who had to drive hours to come and get her. Her cousin who came is the one who lost her parents in the same incident. Grandparents lost two of their own adult children, their spouses, and one grandchild (this woman’s sister) in the flood. To my knowledge they have not been found.
Even the reporters are having trouble dealing with it. I am a Ben Bergquam fan, and I’ve watched him cry a couple of times throughout the weekend. We need to pray for him, and all the families, rescuers, First Responders, pilots, volunteers, the reporters, and even the governing officials, too:
Lord Jesus, we lift up this entire situation to You and ask for Your loving help. Please hold the hearts of all of those effected with tragedies, in Your hands to give them stability, hope, peace and strength. Please guard and protect all first responders, rescuers and volunteers. Help the reporters, the governing officials, and the survivors. Help the animals. If anyone is still alive but not found, please sustain them and bring about their rescue. Please, Lord, divert any rain that wants to make its way to the area and bring drying, healing and restoration. Lord, we don’t even know all the needs, but You do, so please meet every need of these people and help especially those who’ve lost children, to heal. God, bring healing to this tragic situation and our world. Please, Jesus, come soon. Amen.
Isaiah 58:8 – Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
