Water! Water! Everywhere!
 

Cobalt and I went for a drive this afternoon. Wanted to see more of what Mother Nature dumped on us...

The pic here is of a farm field near our acreage....

This isn't a pond...
 

The wind was picking up and causing waves to lap the edge of the field...

No road here.... :(
 

The road is completely underwater...farm field next to it.

Yuck what a mess...not to mention the $$ someone has lost.

The river....
 

The Iowa River runs through our town...now it is running all over town... :(

Our school district has an outdoor classroom. The land was donated and the committee just got done putting in a lot of new trees, a pond (stocked) and a parking area....

No driveway to this house - or at least you can't see it at the moment....

Yeah, Lil....it is a mess! A lot of farmers are going to be replanting, not to mention the insurance claims!

scary stuff....hope everyone is okay.

People are sandbagging....the river is expected to rise some more tonight.

We drove around a baracade to get this picture. I didn't get out of the car, but it looks as if the river is going to spill over the edge of the bridge and onto the road...

The campground is submerged...

By the looks of the sky, we are going to get more rain. In fact, the weather dude is predicting another round of storms for tonight (not severe in our area) and possibly severe storms tomorrow night throug Tuesday...

(((Hugs))) ~ Hope you stay safe and warm....and DRY!

Gentlefolk,

Take care and Good Luck!
