Hinnom Flood

I interrupt the Galilee saga for a breaking news story. Tonight, in an unprecedented move, the clouds over the city of Jerusalem have proceeded to dump torrents of water upon the unsuspecting and unprepared populous. The result is water filling the streets and rushing down sidewalks. Cars plow through puddles a foot or more deep. The Hinnom Valley (aka "Hell") has a river running through it. I guess we can't say that hell froze over, but it sure flooded!

So yeah, all joking aside, it really poured tonight. I was in the library around 4 when someone told us to look out the window. We are on the edge of the Hinnom Valley, and as we looked out we could see a river running through it. Can you imagine the flash flooding taking place in the Judean wilderness?? I went down in the valley with a couple other people and took pictures in the rain of the torrents of water. It was getting dark so some of them aren't that great, but I'll try to post a couple to give you an idea. This sort of thing doesn't happen in Jerusalem all that often.
