More from the Trinity Baptist Snow Disaster '08

You know when you get devastating news it takes time to sink in. When it finally does it's all you can think about. All this snow has caused me much thought. First off, I will begin thinking more about public transportation than ever. These roads are horrible.

I realize you can try to imagine 66 inches of snow, but it's not something that is easily done. Imagine a 4 lane road going down to 3. On each side of the road where sidewalks used to be, you now have 6 foot concrete walls. Apparently not everyone can see them because they're still trying to make an additional lane. In the process, forcing you into the concrete retaining wall of snow. Forget coming out of parking lots without a light telling you when to go. You have to do the gun-it-and-pray hoping you've timed the turn right. Then if you time it wrong, you're stuck. Either in the snow or in an accident. It's insane.

In addition to all the driving conditions, I thought I would post some more pictures from our Trinity Baptist Snow Disaster '08. A lady in our congregation took these. Let me narrate.

This is the view from the parking lot. Where there used to be a wall, also used to be an overhang we would stand under when it rained. I even have a wedding photo taken from that very spot.

My favorite part of this picture is the handicap parking sign. As the wall came down on it, it pierced right through. I think it's the same material as those black boxes on planes.

The view from the south and a bit of the remaning wall.


From the inside area of the gym. The scoreboard is the center of the picture.

More of the same.

This picture was taken from the doors leading into the gym. All that white stuff on the ground isn't snow, it's mainly insulation.

I'm not sure how far the insulation shot, but it's covering the ground behind where that handicapped sign was.

It even sprayed the roof of the sanctuary. Those marks you see on the roof are made from insulation and the wind caused by the collapse. It's not snowballs. In person, the roof of the sanctuary looks grayish like the snow behind the caution tape at the bottom of this picture.

I love this shot. This rainbow was in the sky the morning of the Snow Disaster '08. God's promise. I know He will definitely use this for His glory.

Happy New Year's Eve.

It is the start of something new.
