I hope you’re not in a flooding/flooded zone.

Any updates for us? You all right?

Thanks for asking, KitJ.

We are on high ground. We went to view some of the flooding yesterday, and it is of ginormous proportions. I took lots of pictures. The small building in a park on the flood plain only had its roof sticking up. It was closed, but there was a small family set up with lawn chairs fishing! LOL!

I got fairly close to the bank of the main river in another location from the family. The water was moving so fast. It would be very treacherous to be out in it, in my view. Darlin and I were amazed at how close under the bridges the water was. The various rivers in our area are all several feet above what is defined as normal flood stage. For example, flood stage on one river would normally be defined at 11 feet - today the flood stage was about 9 or 10 feet above that. Record breaking floods. Wow.

I was supposed to go to a gathering today which was on the other side of one of the flooding rivers. I believe the bridge across ended up being ok, but Darlin didn’t want me to risk being able to get there and then not being able to come home in the event the bridge would be closed - so I didn’t go.

It is soupy muddy in a lot of places. Can’t easily mow, and the grass is deliriously happy and growing like Topsy. But overall, things are quite well with us. Settling in for some more possible rain tonight.
