Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
Yeah, that's a downside. When we offered Masses for an end to the drought in our city/region and protections from any further conflagrations (back-to-back devastating fires during two consecutive summers), the rain started, and came, and came, and came...with the unintended result that unstable soil split under a number of homes around the city, including that of a friend of mine. Didn't St. Teresa say something to the effect of be careful what you pray for?
On the other hand, we have continued to receive adequate-to-abundant rain through the intervening years. This summer the city looked like Ireland, while fires raged all over the West.
Yes, by the end of the day yesterday there had been flooding across the country, and 6 deaths in Livorno. It wasn't as bad here, but it was like a wall of water coming down.
