Just 2 more flood pictures that you gotta' see

We finally got the website that had aerial photos of our old house and shop and my son's house. The water was pretty high when they were taken but we think that it had gone down a little bit. The pictures are really big and I'm not able to post them on here so you'll have to click on the link.

1. This is our shop on the right. The house is on the left and behind is a white double wide trailer that's 1/4 mile south of us.

2. This is my son's house. He had about 4 inches inside. They've been busy putting down new flooring. They've had to tear out sheet rock on the lower 18 inches of the wall so the insulation can dry out. It could have been a lot worse.

3. (Ok, I said 2 pictures, but I'm really putting in 4) This is the neighbor's house that my husband and son rescued from the porch roof. The house is in the trees in the upper left. The green square is his tractor cab and there is a grain truck parked next to it that you can't see. The yellow square is an umbrella on a tractor. You can see the grain bin that split too.

4. This picture shows a lot of our farm ground underwater!! This is looking 4 miles toward town, which is to the left of the hill. Our shop is just to the right out of the picture.

Wow! How scary! I hope you are doing alright.

Those pictures were taken on Saturday and on Sunday the water was down and we were walking around at the shop and the house that had the tractors that were under. Hard to believe isn't it?

OMG.. Diana how awful.. Glad everyone was safe.

What a mess...
My Mother and oldest daughter live near the Mississippi, so we see this every so many years there. Luckily they live higher than the water has ever reached in our lifetimes. The slime and filth left after the water receeds is just awful. I really feel for anyone who has to do the clean up.

YUCK

I don't care if it went down the next day, the day it happened would have been so scary. The poor people that lost so much, how horrible. Mother Nature is amazing isn't she?

Wow! I am done complaining about ours. Yours is really bad!

Hugs to you,k
