Ohio River Flood 25

 

Lets just say...

Theres usually not a lake 

in our neighbors field

in front of her house lol.

Said field...

two days after the water was receding 

and we could finally get out.

Two creeks meet around the corner to the right

of all the standing water.

One of the culprits lol.

Again, not very far from our home,

two days after the water had been receding.

Well...

High water to the left...

High water back the way we came

high water straight ahead

and

Coming from the other way

where there is a bridge 

where the two creeks 

close to us meet up.

Old boy took his four wheeler 

to his kayak 

to get across the creek 

in his driveway lol.

He wasn't the only one 

we saw that had done this.

Lots of others suffered 

a lot worse than we did.

Prayers for a speedy recovery.

p.s.

It was crazy, we could tell when they were opening or closing the gates on the damn as the water in the neighbors field would go down and then rise again accordingly.

They estimated close to 750,000 gallons of water a second 

going through the damn on the Ohio at one point.

Never been surrounded by water 

and unable to get out before.

Not that we go anywhere anyway

(kinda allergic to Babylon at this point)

but we couldn't even make it 

to the store a few miles from our home 

as the creeks all around us had flooded.

Godspeed everybody.
