The Day After - Again Nov 17, 2009

The water had went down Monday night, but came back up with a vengence by Tuesday morning. It still didn't get into the house, but we were truly surrounded. I took the first pictures about 8:00 in the morning when it got light. We went out a few hours later after it started going down. It's amazing how fast it went down. We never could get out yesterday. The flood level got as high as 17.1 feet and flodding is 16 feet. We can get out today, but it's coming back again tonight. We're bringing all the kids home today, with homework. Ginger will just stay with Michelle for another couple of days. Our lives are never dull. Our bishop just drove out to check on us. He's a nice guy.

The back yard. This took all day to go down

The most famous view out my window. Look at all the water.

The pumphouse. Water was up over the 3rd step going down.

Looking towards the barn

Boards and a log all washed to this gate. Check out the garden area

Checking out the Salmon catch

Moving Clyde back to his house. He started running and Penny lost him. Unfortunately one of the roosters had refused to get into the hen house the night before. Clyde must have been planning that moment for months now. He's a born carnivore I guess. The rooster never had a chance.

Yummy

What!!!!!!
