When one thinks (at least I do) of San Diego, I think of beautiful sunshiny days enjoying the beaches, observing the animals at the zoo and the milder warm days strolling through the countryside.
I do not, however, think about drastic changes in the weather’s atmospheric composition to cause severe flooding and damage to the homes, roads, businesses around this fine city.

A Thousand-year Storm Event
San Diego, California
On January 22 I received messages from my friends revealing the devastating effects of the latest rainstorms inundating the Southern California areas especially San Diego, my former hometown. The upper left photo is from the area where I once lived, shopped, worked and dined. In all my years living in Sunny San Diego, I never saw this catastrophic damage due to flooding occurring. Some roads like Stadium Way and the Fashion and Mission Valley shopping centers located in the area have previously had some flooding ( usually attributed to it being built in a river bed.) However, nothing this devastating in over a thousand years.
I encourage y’all to pray for the families affected by the flood damage. Some folks lost everything. Pray the city rally’s to provide the food, clothing, and shelter needed by those affected by the flooding. Pray for them to have strength and endurance to see them through this difficulty. Pray the Lord will guide and comfort them and cover them with His grace and love.

God Bless. Thank you for sharing your time and thoughts with me. I appreciate y’all.
