And here we are with....the next installment of "Ken's Home Videos..."! (Roar of applause...)
It's hard to describe what the rainy season here can be like. This past year it was relatively dry. The water only soaked through one side of the house and peeled all the paint off the walls on that side. Oh....and I guess there was the time when our patio flooded and the water ran past the sliding glass doors and waterfalled down the stairs to the first floor of the house...
But all that pales in comparison to the rainy day in this video. This took place a couple of years ago (this coming Christmas). Right around the time Saskatoon got that crazy blizzard. So I guess this would be our version of the "Blizzard of 2007"... =)
We were VERY fortunate that my house was built on enough of a hill that we didn't get flooded out like all of our neighbours. They had a mess to clean up. This rain actually ended up destroying a bridge just up the road from us. A little gully (about 15 or 20 ft across) ended up washing out and becoming a huge valley (100 ft or more across) and four or five houses ended up washing away as well. It actually made the news in Canada.
Anyhow...just one more crazy experience in the life of Missionary Ken...
PS For those of you who watched the fireworks videos a few posts back. Don't just watch the first ones! WATCH THE LAST ONE! The first ones are kind of boring. The last one is the funniest. I think everyone is getting bored before they get to the last one...AND IT'S THE FUNNIEST!
There...I've said my piece.
