SUBJECT: We're Drowning Over Here!
Happy Friday the 13th,
Well today has been very eventful. Everything is flooded here. All the roads are blocked off because of flooding. It’s insane! We’re safe because we are up high but we’re stuck here. The rain has stopped for now but there is more on the way this weekend. Ugh! Jake and I ventured out to see what was happening today and I got some pics. These shots were right down the round from me. They are river side so they were getting pounded. So scary.
This house was named accordingly. Usually this river is slowly flowing and it’s about six feet lower.
Obviously the water shouldn’t be going over the bridge.
I’ll try and get out tomorrow and see if there are any more interesting things I can take a pic of. I hope you all are safe where ever you’re located. This year has certainly been nothing but wacky weather.
Have a great Friday night and I’ll keep you updated on the latest in my hood. lol.

Good lord girl, that is some scary stuff! At least when it's snow, you can ski or snowmobile in it, and it doesn't wash a car/rig or house away.
Be safe, and hopefully you have a stocked pantry, and a fully prepared hot tub with cocktails, to 'ride it out!' Good luck!
Hi RedSportsCar, I know! Mother Nature can get a little crazy sometimes. lol, snow would be much more fun and less destructive. :)
Thanks for checking on me and have a great day!

I suspect you weren't alive then but, during my only visit to the Rocky Mountain state in August, 1976 (to Rocky Mountain National Park, in fact), I recall the infamous "Big Thompson Canyon Flood". Current news reports bring back memories of that and the current flooding seems to be occurring in the same locations.
Hi Hoosier, lol, I was born the year after but that is the last big flood everyone remembers around here. Yes, it seems to have beat the same area up pretty good.
Hope you're doing well.
