FLOOOD!!

[gentle giants]

Ok, so I live out in the boonies, right? We had a ton of rain the last few days, I don't even know how much altogether, and now here is the road I take to get into town:

Keep in mind, this is the first time in (my) living memory that this road has had to be closed, which is 20 years at least. It's really annoying! We can get to town if we really have to, but we have to go waaaay out around on crappy back roads.

Good grief!....it must be so annoying to have the road flooded like that......

gosh we could use all that water over here....we need it!

Hehe ok...but make sure you put it in something with a tight lid so there will be no spillage..otherwise i will have to deduct a bit more out of that amount

But yeah i have seen on the news hereabout all the bad weather all you guys are having over there.

WowI just saw a thing on the news and like a house was floating down a river! that was in somewhere begining with M, Minnasota or Massechusces (Really couldnt spell that one) or something else but it also mentioned Illinios. Hopefully everythings ok for you now

I can sympathize! We don't have flooding here (for once) but the storms have left their mark.

Well, the road finally opened up again yesterday, thank Heaven! We got more rain last night, but hopefully not enough to bring the river back up. Now if we could just have three days without more rain, mabye things will dry out again!



Forgot to mention this before. You can't see it in the pics, but off to both sides of the river there are homes, mostly trailers and such, that were totally under water. I know those people would have had to evacuate, I don't know how bad the damage was to their homes though. The water was so deep where the house/trailers were, that you could just barely see the tops of people's cars sitting there.
