Flood Waters

I caught a few views of the flood waters

from our back yard.

It is truly amazing. I do not think the pictures

do it justice....since it is our back yard, we are

keenly aware of the large amount of land

that is currently under the rapidly moving waters

of the flooded Rock River.

The above picture is of our neighbors dock that was

for the winter, drug up on land from the river.

 

 This picture is of a tree on our bottom land and

the tree is around 25 feet tall.

This is straight across the river from our home

and the water is above the bank and flowing into

the farmer's field. 

The last two pictures are taken from my Mom's yard showing the land that is normally

used by the neighbors during the summer months for camping and picnicking....it will be a long while before they walk down there, let alone camping.

 

We did not get water in our basement, praise the Lord. There are so many who suffered greatly with water in their basements and the ruins that come with such a natural disaster.
