Flooding and Salmon in the Skok Valley

We had about 9-12 inches of rain in about 36 hours that caused almost major flooding. We were okay, but there was major flooding and water all around us.
We were really blessed because we really didn't get any water. There were times when the road probably had about 12 plus inches of water running across it. We did have some under the house again, but the sump pump kept it down. We have Salmon in our fields and all up and down the roads in and out of our place.


The road leading out from our house



A mile or so from our house


Water from the Skok coming across the road in a big way



Salmon on the edge of the road (They try to swim back to the river)


Water in the front yard. The ground is so wet.


I am taking this picture out of my bedroom window. The water on the road is actually running all the way down the road. Luckily is flows to the right and away from our place. If it had of went straight down it would have went right through our barn.
