Flood Plains!

Our lovely flood plain! We had a nasty storm come through on July 11, 2009. A local town had some minor damage due to a tornado. The main reason for the flooding besides the rain was that our culvert got clogged and therefore the water backed up. Thank Goodness there was only minor damage and loss.

*sigh* I hate our Culvert.

Dad's truck, it moved forward about 3 inches.

My grandfathers car, if flooded up to the front door.

This is after the water started to go down, by the front door.

There is a driveway somewhere.

Stupid weather, my car moved 6 inches forward. If it had got any higher it would have ended up in the culvert in front of it.



Mom's suburban......it didn't go anywhere...lol

The barn and the side of the house.

It flooded 6 inches in the barn, all our hay was on palates, the bottom row got wet. All the stalls are wet and will have to be cleaned, Grr



The aftermath, all the road is a solid sheet of mud.

Yuck!



Debri, that washed in.



All those cross-ties, the were laying up against the driveway. Almost lost them.

About two hours later, the water is still flowing.

We moved all the cars in case it rained again.

The lawnmower is ruined.

Driveway is all washed out.

This is how high it got up next to the house.
