We're Having a Flood!!!!

[DianaB]

We've been having a lot of rain, 7 inches so far and I can hear thunder coming at us again. It rained all day yesterday and all of last night and we've had trouble planting crops because we've just had too much water this whole spring. Anyway, today my husband and I got out and drove around to look at the water and I took some pictures for you. Keep in mind that we farm mostly in the river valley and that's where the flooding is the worst.

1. This is the stop sign not too far from the house (we're up on a hill). The river is behind the trees.
2. This is looking left from the stop sign. On the right side of the picture is a road that goes to a low water bridge. The water is probably 12 feet over the bridge, I'm guessing.
3. This is what the road looks like in front of my husband's parent's home. The water was pretty deep and we were pushing a wave of water in front of us.
4. This is one of my husband's fields that he just planted on Monday. We'll be doing a lot of replanting as soon as this dries up.
