Flagstaff is under a flood alert. It has rained hard

for at least a week and the city has handed out over 9000 sandbags to help keep the water out of houses in the low lying areas. The flood warnings were being broadcast all afternoon over loud speakers. A lot of the town is at the base of the mountain and the runoff has flooded many homes in the past couple of months. The city has built canals to help with the heavy rain runoff. Thank the Lord we live at a high spot in our area so hopefully there won't be a problem there. A lot of the homes were effected by the fires earlier in the year where the undergrowth was burned off so the heavy rains just run downhill into the homes at the base of the mountain.
