Good News / Bad News

In their retirement, my parents decided that instead of heading off to endless sun in Florida, they'd stay home and save the world one flood at a time. That topic would be the source of this good news, bad news scenario. After the flood in 2007 that you may have remembered me blogging about, my parents along with countless others in Ottawa were faced with the task of rebuilding. Two years later, and a ton of paperwork later, my folks and a few others were able to start the Putnam County Chapter of Habitat for Humanity (my mom just started their website here.) My dad was recently interviewed on local radio about the new launch, and you can listen to that here if you'd like. I'm so proud of my parents and the others who were able to start that great work back home.
The bad news is that it looks like they're going to be needed a lot sooner than they had hoped.  Ottawa is in the midst of yet another flood.  Some say it will be worse than the floods in 2007, while others say it could be the worst flood Ottawa has seen in the last 100 years.  People have already been displaced by this flood and they're supposed to get even more rain tonight and tomorrow with no word on when exactly the river is supposed to start receding, but initial reports from this weekend say it will be up 30 feet before it comes back down.  Any and all prayers would be appreciated for the people living in Ottawa.
