Flooding

I probably should have mentioned that we are not directly affected by the flooding going on here. A large part of our yard doesn't drain well and had a bunch of water but we are on top of a hill and far from the river.

We finally drove through downtown last night though and stopped at a friend's place who was flooded. About 2 inches running through his whole house for about 8 hours. NOt a pretty sight.

Autumns school is high enough off the ground and didn't get water inside (TG school budget around here is bad enough!) but has been closed nearly 3 days now because the parking lot, field, roads, etc had about 4 feet of water in them.

The houses downtown always look so funny in the summertime when you see them 8 feet off the ground. In the winter you realize why...

Here is a link to the flooding going on around here lately. The mountain pass is about 30 miles east of us.
