DO NOT DRIVE CARS THROUGH AREAS WHERE WATER COVERS THE ROAD. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR VEHICLE TO PASS SAFELY. TURN AROUND...DON`T DROWN!
Don't drown!? They actually put that! Funny!
Anyway, at our house this just makes a mess of...
boots...
coveralls...
my pickup...
..pretty much everything!
However, at work we are getting ready for a farmer's consignment auction on Saturday....and we are about 1/4 of a mile from the river.
Here's what the river looks like today.
It's pretty full, but it looks like some of the water from the fields around is flowing INTO the river. Which is good. If the water in the field near the river was flowing away from the river that would mean flooding.
We sure hope it stays that way. Everything is already lined up and ready to sell. Much of the equipment that was brought in earlier is already on the lower ground.
For now, we're crossing our fingers and hoping for the best!
The river has been out the last two years in a row. Here are come pictures from two years ago when it flooded. It got clear up on our lot and up to the sidewalk, but not in the building.
I only work part-time, so today Maci and I are at home, inside keeping dry. We decided it was a good day to make rice krispie bars!
I Bet you guys are getting pretty darn wet down your way! I live just on top the Oahe Dam....about 1/4 mile away. Below me Thank Goodness as I am on top a Butte ..also known as "Tornado Alley". The river is massive and was that way going into the winter. The draws have a long way to go before they even start melting all that caught snow. I wonder where all this stuff is going to go? They can't seem to let the dam out fast enough and I know below the dam it is already at its peak!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Rice Krispie Bars were a good choice!
Too funny on the Don't Drown....I will keep that in mind when I am walking across the cattle pens. Seems the mud is going to suck me under anyday now! :)
Be safe and hope you don't get flooded!
ReplyDeleteIf it does flood, I know a nice dry, warm area you all can visit!
ReplyDeleteAnd a side note... rice krispie bars might be my favorite treat. I like add peanut m&ms to the batch. I may just have to make some this weekend. Or... just feel free to send some my way...
