Strength in Storms

I can breath as the raindrops fall. I can think in the white noise of the downpour. I can scream as loud as the rolling thunder. I am as strong as the thunderstorm. I am as free as the clouds drifting overhead. I am as fierce as the lightning flashing across the sky. I will endure.

The Year of the Flood - 1993

I am in the flood, and the flood is in me.

In the year of 1993, the mighty Mississippi River flooded its banks and spread out over 30,000 square miles. It was one of the greatest deluges in its history, second only to the great flood of 1927. By October of 1993, the flood waters finally started to recede—and that was the month and year that I was born.

My mother and father were fishing on the Mississippi River near Louisiana, Missouri during the height of the Flood of ‘93. Of course, this means that my mother was pregnant with me at that time. Before I was even born, I was being gently rocked by flood waters while my parents fished off their old John boat. They camped along the flooded banks in a cramped camper for a week during that summer. Perhaps, then, it is no wonder that I am drawn to the high, muddy water and the sound of the rain. The flood is in my blood.

The river is in my father, and in those that came before him.

The river is in my father's blood, too. He was taken to the Mississippi River at a young age and fell in love with the water and wildlife, and in turn he instilled that in me. Many a summer day was spent boating on the Mississippi, until one day Dad decided that he was tired of the 45-minute drive to get there. He started searching for a small house— “a river shack,” he said—to purchase so we could spend multiple days out on the river without having to camp. Instead, he found a 2600 square foot ranch-style home at an unbeatable price with an incredible view; the closest house to the river in that neighborhood. The nearest boat ramp is a two-minute drive away. A conservation beach along the water stretches almost a half a mile, containing 11 acres, just behind the home. The location was perfect. That home became our River House. I was 12 years' old at the time.

We owned that house during the 2008 flood, which nearly rivaled the Flood of '93. The river came up into our yard, about four feet away from our back porch, and twelve feet away from the house itself. You couldn't get much closer to the river than that. We were able to fish right out of our back yard. Where we lived, the 2008 flood lasted for weeks. At one point, we were worried enough to sandbag around the porch to prevent any damage to it (but it didn't get that far). In 2019, another flood rose just slightly higher than the 2008 flood, but it only lasted a few days.

When I started college, I moved into the River House full time and have been living there ever since. Every day my eyes lay upon the flowing water. It is changing all of the time. For a moment it can be smooth like glass, and the next it is dark and turbulent. There are several places where the current regularly runs backwards along eddies and islands. Floods are common. They don't get all the way up to the yard very often, but over the past decade there hasn't been a year where the river stayed inside it's normal banks all summer. High water records seem meant to be broken. The deluges have become normal now.

A story old as time--great destruction, and great inspiration

Most cultures around the world tell a story of a giant flood that threatened the whole world – The Deluge itself that the Bible's Noah's Ark was built to escape. Even the oldest recorded written story that we have discovered, The Epic of Gilgamesh, has such a tale within it. A flood can damage the land, homes, and people when its banks run over. According to the Britannica, the 1927 Mississippi River flood killed approximately 250 people and further displaced 750,000. However, it also inspired songs, like "The Levee Breaks" by Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie (later covered by Led Zeppelin), as well as "Louisiana 1927" by Randy Newman. The rolling waters are both dangerous and inspiring, capable of both tremendous strength and calm beauty.

They also served as the inspiration for In the Deluge. Like the mighty Mississippi, sometimes emotions can overwhelm us, drown us, and overflow out of us. Sometimes our levees break that we built up to contain them. Our emotions can whisk us away like a river, drag us down like sea serpent, and spin us around like a whirlpool. However, there also is calm, peace, and growth to be gotten from the rain. Life flourishes where there is water. We cannot live without it.

When I first conceived the theme of this poetry collection, I called it "Drowning in the Deluge". Alliteration is my jam, and I'm fascinated by the archaic word "deluge". However, as time passed, I realized:  just because you're in the midst of a flood, doesn't mean you have to be drowning. I simply changed the title to "In the Deluge". It's a subtle shift, but an important one. Whether we ended up here by choice or by force, we are here, in the flood. We might even be underwater, but we are not drowning. It is a lot of water, but we are weathering it. Maybe there are days where it feels like drowning, but maybe other days we're trying to dive deeper. Some days we are floating adrift. Sometimes we're at the bottom where it's so dark we can't see, and sometimes we're so close to the surface we can breach it. We are always in it, and maybe it's even in us.

Come hell or high water, we will weather it.

VIC: “Wanna lock the door?”

RIPLEY: “No matter how much I would like to, I can’t. I’d be taking advantage.”

VIC: “No, you really wouldn’t be.”

RIPLEY: “I’m the chief. You’re… you’re you.”

VIC: “Taking advantage implies a lack of consent on my part. I’m a grown woman standing here consenting. I’m the definition of consent. You were hot today. I… I was hot. Don’t stand there and try to tell me you’re not feeling exactly the same way. I’m done being professional right now. And I think you are, too. Lock… the door.”

Okay, I get the message. Thanks Universe. 😁👍

I’m still not going to be sneaking around at my place of work though. That’s shit saved for TV show drama.

She’s not taking advantage and I’m not using her.

It’s fine. We’ll be fine. We both want it so it’ll be fine.

PROGRESS

Progress is one of the things in life that that’s has been with you since the moment you set your feet on the beautiful world we call earth, and it is undoubtedly looked over and over. No matter what it is you are doing, weather it is working out, cooking, photography, recovering from a toxic relationship or really just…, anything. It can be anything so small or big, there is always progress in whatever it is you are doing.

Recently I have been struggling with my creative side, there moments where I feel like my craft and my art is not where as I want it to be, where I think it should be already, but going back through old photos I have taken over the years I seen that my photography has grown, grown to the point where I shock myself for being a self-thought photographer.

There’s a lot of great and marvelous photographers out in the field and a lot of them I look up to as well. Yes, it’s so motivating to be in the position that they are in and I will be in that position, but at the same time it demotivates me. Telling myself “I won’t get there.”

Having some time to sit back and look at myself from where I came from and seeing the PROGRESS I have made up till now has relighted my drive and passion for what I love doing.

So if you feel like if you are ever stuck, not moving forward, just sit back and have a deep and honest conversation with yourself and look at the PROGRESS you made from then up till now.

Ooo I like this!! 📘

Thanks for sending this in, Aimee! 🥰

I’ll share the rough plot that I have for a absolutely fluffly Tommy x reader story called Weather the Storm.

So Tommy and (Y/N) are newlyweds (like their marriage was only a few days prior to when the story starts). And they’re supposed to leave for their honeymoon when a storm (see what I did there?? 😏) strikes and renders them grounded. This causes (Y/N)’s mood to plummet and her worries to rise, but thankfully Tommy’s there to comfort her…only after getting into a minor mishap along the way.

———

I think this is the only truly fluffy fic that I’ve got in my WIPs, and I’m super excited to get to it and write it!! Thanks again for asking! ❤️

Y’all in the American SW and west Mexico better check the national hurricane center and your weather for this weekend and next week.

Hurricane Hilary is about to make landfall and that whole desert area is supposed to get a years worth of rain or more. Death Valley is supposed to get twice the annual rainfall. Severe winds, massive flooding, and landslides are all strong possibilities.

This is gonna get ugly. Please spread the word. This is a majorly anomalous event and people may be unaware of the threat headed their way.

EDIT AUGUST 19th

Hilary will hit the Baja peninsula this evening at a category 2. It will arrive in southern California as a tropical storm on Sunday evening before weakening and moving into Nevada as a tropical depression.

THAT SAID: for the Americans here, even if the storm is “weak”, I want to emphasize that the main danger is rain. We are most concerned about flooding. If you are in an area at risk for flooding, take appropriate precautions as per your city or state officials’ or the noaa’s directions. Even if you end up only being mildly inconvenienced, it is better to be prepared. Go to a friend or relatives house if you live near a body of water or a very low-lying area. Make sure you have water bottles and nonperishable foods. Keep your pets indoors. Don’t wade or drive into puddles.

Anyways, here’s some maps from the NHC

And here’s a link with information in Spanish.

AUGUST 20 FINAL UPDATE

Updated info from the NHC website.

Newsom also issued a state of emergency for parts of Southern California. Widespread flooding is expected.

Good luck y’all

Good morning! “I cannot command winds and weather.” - Horatio Nelson

Why do we complain about the weather? Nothing we say or do is going to change it. It is like looking at a mountain and yelling at it to move because it is in your way. The mountain is gonna stay there. I am thinking about the big snowstorm that is coming and while it is not ideal there is nothing I can do to change its coming. So that means I need to change. Maybe I need to change my routine, make sure I have my snow gear, make sure there is gas in my vehicle, make sure I have food. But I am the one who needs to change. When we can't change something we are the ones who need to change. So stop complaining about something you can't stop and deal with it. Change is something that happens all the time. Is all change fun? No, but sometimes we just have to buckle down and do it anyways. If you are up here in the path of the storm, stay safe. I hope everyone has a good day.

#goodmorning #weather the storm #change
