I love reading your stories and seeing your photos, it takes me home. We always went thru three creeks to get to my Grandma and Granddaddy's house when growing up and the other choice was to walk a foot path around a hill. And we also had a river you could ford. Flooded waters are very dnagerous. We've even seen the creek come out when there was no rain in sight because it rained somewhere up the mountains. Love your stories. Thanks so much!

Water can be deceiving in appearances, and be much worse than it looks. We are getting a lot of rain here too, but it doesn't look as pretty here as it does there with all the trees!

They wondered why all the locals drove trucks with BIG wheels until the night it rained. When they tried to drive into town the next morning they found that the little creek they drove across had turned into a raging torrent without a bridge. They were stranded at that cabin for days.

It was terrible. I think seven people died. Ever since then, I've been hyperaware of the forecast and I really listen to the words "heavy rain possible" with a different attitude. Glad you and yours are safe and sound. Last August we had 17″ of rain in just 20 hours here in SW Wisconsin. It was terrible. I think seven people died.
