"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " ***
We must realize that the Reformation world view leads in the direction of government freedom. But the humanist world view with inevitable certainty leads in the direction of statism. This is so because humanists, having no god, must put something at the center, and it is inevitably society, government, or the state.- Francis A. Schaeffer
The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe; the theist believes a 'who' created the universe. - Criss Jami, Killosophy
At about 11pm Hanna's eye passed directly over the house. It was clearly defined on the local radar. Quite a few short duration power outages but no flooding at the house. Still too dark to see the rain gauge. Hanna is still just south of me between the river and the mountains. Still under Tropical Storm warning until midafternoon and flood watch.
AbE:

That looks more like the privately built wall a local landowner has been building on his own. It's poorly made and with no real foundation and has been washed out in areas just from thunderstorms.
AbE:
Looking at local rainfall maps the area just about a block south of me and the area just about a block west of me each got over 15" of rain.
