Flooding





We've only lived here a couple of years, but we've never seen this much water. Apparently even people who have lived here 20 years haven't either. When I got home yesterday afternoon, I was not expecting this much water. By the evening, you could only get to our house from one road, unless you drove across the water.
The first picture is from spring 2008. We thought that was a lot of water. The second picture is from yesterday. The tree line way ahead of where I'm standing is where the creek is supposed to be. Those two pictures are of the same creek. This is also where I saw emergency vehicles helping someone who apparently drove into the water.
The last picture is a little creek in our neighborhood. It's not on our street, but it's one street over. It hasn't had anything in it most of the summer. It was getting pretty close to some of the houses yesterday.
Also, one of the subdivisions we looked in a couple of years ago, was one of the worst hit. Yikes.

That's crazy, and I've heard that there is more to come all weekend. We are fine down here as of right now, so if think you might drown, come hang out at your mom and dad's until the water goes down. :)
