“Funereal” in Fort Deposit

Fort Deposit UMC - June 11

“Crashing” a funeral for the first time.
Of course, I didn’t know why the cars were there till I showed up.
After 10+ very early miles, I showed up to the United Methodist Church yesterday morning in Fort Deposit to seek shelter from much more severe storms that were said to be on their way. After answering their questions of what + when + where + how + who + why, they ultimately invited me in, fed me, housed me, and showed me around the area. I’ve been writing a much larger narrative to this story, and once I can enjoy more than internet on the phone, I’ll seek to place the longer story on the website. :) .
Four inches of rain have poured down since I arrived yesterday. In Gulf Shores, which I already walked through in Southern Alabama, the same storm system struck a boy with a bolt of lightning (he’s now in the hospital, in critical condition). Tomorrow may or may not be walkable…
