Caught in Romanian floods

Well, as you can see from this clip, we got caught in the recent floods in Romania.

We had taken the girls to Mari's parents the week before and were due to go to collect them on Monday.

Interestingly, Iulian was obliged to come with us as one of my documents had expired and when we got to Suceava the downpour had gotten heavy but we passed through until we got to an area about 15 km on from Suceava. As you can see the area was flooding and we were caught behind many cars who could not pass through the flooded road. We walked up to the flooded area and spoke to the police that told us it was not possible to get back as Suceava was now cut off and if we had courage then go on through the floods. This we did and encountered many other areas of heavy flooding but eventually got home to our kids at the top of the mountain where Mari's folks live.

However, by the next day various other bridges for our route home had collapsed, 11,600 people had been evacuated and the road by which we had come had also collapsed into the river.

So we had to go back by a different route up through the mountiains. We felt like the 3 kings that were warned to go back by a different way after visiting the baby Jesus. Anyway God was with us and we arrived back home in Moldova safe and sound.

Keep us in your prayers
