The Rain Came Down And The Floods Came Up

Wow, it has rained a ton here since last night and with the ground already completely saturated from all the rain we have had in the past month there is no where for all of the water to go. Camryn and I went out on a little adventure this morning and took some pictures around Cave Springs of the swollen creeks. I have only seen them this high one other time in the past 14 years.

This is going east on 264 west headed into Cave as we were crossing the bridge. This creek is usually small enough to pass through on a 4 wheeler with no problem


This is just the other side of the bridge


This is coming down Evening Star Road at the first corner looking out into the field

This is at the second corner on Evening Star and as you can see the creek has come up and covered the road. You can kinda see in the distance where the water should be.

And this is where the water should be but not so much of it. There is a small bridge here that has been completely swollen by the water. You can see the signs that are on the side of the bridge.

And I had a good surprise this morning! Camryn and I were almost done at Wal-Mart with our grocery shopping when I spotted one of my sweet friends Tessa (Nalley) Horensky. Tessa and I met about 7 years ago when she came to work at Sam's home office and I was the one that got the priviledge to train her! She just recently got married this past December (and what a beautiful wedding it was) to her longtime love Dave and moved to Kansas City. She was down in our neck of the woods today and I was just so lucky to happen to run into her! Tessa is such a beautiful, sweet and godly woman and I am so lucky to call her one of my friends even though we don't get to see each other often! Tessa, if you read this it was so good to see you today and please keep in touch! Love ya!

Those pictures are crazy! Now what you need to do is go back to each of those places when the water levels return to normal & take the same pictures. I'd like to see the comparison.
