What does flooding and newborn babies have to do with each other? I guess you could have major flooding if mom’s water breaks in an untimely manner 
But not this time. St. George has been in a severe drought for the past eight or nine years and apparently Mother Nature has decided to do some catch up work, and so for the past few months we have had a ton of rain. For the past week or so its been raining non-stop. This morning all routes out of my community except one were closed due to flooding. Several times today the only route out of my community was closed. I never really realized this before but all routes from my home into town require crossing some kind of river.
The Virgin River runs just a block from my home and these are some pictures I took this afternoon. In this first picture you can see where the bridge has cracked. That’s one of three major cracks along the base of the bridge. Obviously that bridge is closed indefinitely. The only open route into town requires crossing a bridge and on our way home the river was about a foot from the bottom of the bridge. Looks like I may be staying home tomorrow.
My daughter is seven months pregnant with her third. She has been having some serious contractions for the past two weeks. Several times she and her husband have been into the ER. Her doctor told her she has to wait for another two weeks but this evening she was having contractions 3-4 minutes apart. This morning at her doctors appointment she was 50% effaced and dilated to two. They’re still at the ER right now, we’re hoping and praying that she can hang on for at least another week.

John….WOW, the pictures show some pretty serious flooding in St George. When mother nature comes to visit, she comes with a fury and not always with warning!! Hoping everyone is safe and sound in the meantime….and blessings and prayers to you and yours.
Boy, what a pretty sight although I hope everybody’s aright and safe. Ãœ
Susan and Betty, yes we are all OK. The roads to my community are all open except for the Man O War Bridge that you see in the pictures. Today was a beautiful day and the rivers are for the most part back to normal.
ter Amy was released from the hospital. Still no baby thank goodness and every day she can hang in there is a blessing. I think she’s about 6 weeks away from [...]
I hope your daughter is alright and the baby’s alright, that’s ashame she has to suffer though the pain though. I understand how she feels because sometimes I have stomach aches so bad I think I’m ganna to die, and I have to suffer though the pain too. No fun at all!!
