Flood Photos

Here are some photos I took the day after we had the initial flooding. The water had receded a tiny bit at this point.

This is the view looking toward the back yard. You can see Carson's dome climber to the left. And in the extreme lower left corner is a step down from our deck that was floating. Our big front deck didn't go anywhere, however.

And here is the yard in the spring, in it's normal state.

This is the side yard. The river is flowing across the yard, parallel to it's normal location, as a separate fork. But actually, this time, there was so much water that there was no separation between the actual river and the floodwater in the back yard. Previous to this, there was always a strip of yard separating the main river from it's new fork in our yard.

Today, three days after initial flood, we have most of our yard showing, except where there are huge puddles and a little stream of residual water flowing across the back yard. As fast as the river rose, it has receded.
