Woke up this morning after going to bed at after 3:30AM last night. When I went to bed it “looked” like the river had crested. Apparently it didn’t crest until 8AM this morning.
This is a view of my friend's house (the blue one) zoomed in from over my fence
When I came outside this morning there was a marker on the road that said 10′. However, the river apparently went over 14′ so I’m not sure why it’s marked 10′. The marker pointed out the spot that the river made it to on the street. A new record for my street as I’m sure it’s also the record for many others in the town.
The river is receding now and when it makes it a little more than halfway down the street they will turn on the pumps and the water will be out of the street. That’s when my neighbors come home and the real cleanup begins.
This is where the final mark was placed that the water reached on our street. A new record.
Even though this is going to be a huge cleanup, most of the people on my street are used to this. Those that chose to stay and could walk down the street came out to relax on my parent’s lawn today. There were also 8 of us sitting around a campfire until 3:30AM last night. We have some of the best neighbors.
Coffee and donuts with the neighbors
