Surrounded by Water in the middle of the night

Well the water got here. About 1:30 or 2:00 this morning the water surrounded us. Mark woke us up at 2:30 and we went down and flood proffed the house as best as we could. All the cars are up and we're sort of ready. The water was up on the steps of the porch. It is now after 5:00 am and the water is actually down about an inch from the step that it was up over. Hopefully it will keep going down. I guess we will be stuck here long, cause we really can't get out. Ginger and Penny are stuck in town also. Here are a few pics that I took in the dark. They are pretty awesome. The eagle was from yesterday afternoon. He's awesome too. We did lose our phone and internet connection a little bit ago, but it came back so I am trying to get this posted quickly. I'll check back later.

An eagle in a tree - isn't he awesome
water on the front step
Looking out west of the house. It is solid water
Looking south of the house towards the barn
The bushes off the front porch - under water
To the right off the front porch looking towards the pump house
