Lots of Rain and Flooding...

...and more rain on the way. In fact it's raining right now. I wish I could send some of this rain to those of you in the drought areas because I am sick and tired of it!

We got out to do some driving yesterday. We wanted to go look and see how high the lake was where we have some cows (about 8 miles from our house)...luckily, the cows were on the other side of the lake and away from this:

This is what we drove up to...

This is the side of the road that the lake is on...it's SUPPOSED to be clear back toward the darker set of trees...

A couple of pics of DH and DS near the water...gives you more of a reference on how wide/big this overflow is...it was about the length of a football field across and it was a long ways down!

  1. Totally amazing. I'm in awe seeing these photos having gone through this very thing a few months ago.
    You can see some pretty graphic flood photos here -

    our LSS and the entire town was completely covered 10 feet deep. It was terrible! Luckily they were able to save a lot of the product and find a new store near by to call their new home. (Scroll down on that site till you hit the flood pictures)
    Mother Nature is, truly, amazing!
