We just heard that there have been MAJOR floods back home All water levels are at the highest in history and there have been a few casualties. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

We are praying that the worst part has past, the National Weather Service forecasters have reported a 24-hour precipitation count measuring near 12 inches!

Tennis courts and playground 8ft under water!

I75 completely flooded and under water...

  Listen up folks! If and when you come to China, you simply MUST see The Great Wall, all 8,851 km of it! Okay, not the whole thing!
