The Rain Continues Here - Flooding Back in the Quad-City Area


I was in Moline High School in 1965, when the we had the great flood. The high school cancelled classes to let students help sandbag. We sandbagged my father's donut shop, which sounds rather funny, but all his supplies were kept in the basement. Downtown Moline was largely spared.

Last night we had supercells passing through Springdale, tornadic clouds that were dark and circulating close to the ground, with little rain.The thunderstorms came after the supercells and have continued, off and on, this morning.

Our street sends water down to Scott, where it heads down to White. The hardest hit areas will be the many golf courses in Bella Vista, which have flooded along the creeks with less rain than this.

Last night until this morning - 3 inches of rain fell here.

The Way of Salvation In The Lutheran Church by George Gerberding

“Yes, the Lutheran Church does believe in salvation, in the absolute necessity of its personal application, and in eternal perdition to every one who will not come to God in His own way of salvation – through Jesus Christ.
“And thus the Lutheran system is a complete system. It takes in everything revealed in the Word. It teaches to observe all things that Christ has commanded. It declares the whole counsel of God.
“Whatever may have been the effect of reading these chapters, the writing of them has made the Church of the Reformation, her faith and practices, more precious than ever to the writer. He has become more and more convinced that what Rome stigmatized as “Lutheranism” is nothing else than the pure and simple Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
