roads closed by rock slides
bridges washed away
trips cancelled mid-journey

When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak. ~ Audre Lorde

Terrible flooding south of us. Water can be frightening and deadly.
