Flood pics

Here are a few pics of the flood from "back home".

This is a road washed out just South of my mom and dad's farm.











This is our neighbor's, The Usatis Family,  farm to the East of the farm.

I thought this was interesting because 10 years ago, we did not have moss growing anywhere!

Another road closed to the South.

This used to be a field South of the farm. The Game and Fish Department decided to start putting fish in it last year. I guess we have a new lake! It is huge! I can not believe that a lake is located where a field used to be. This picture does not do it justice because it goes on for a few miles.

This absolutely kills me. This is the county road east of the farm. You can see a trailer parked their because there was a group of guys who jet skied out to a field and set up goose dummies! My favorite part was the jet ski usage. Totally hilarious and pretty intelligent;)

As you can guess there is only one road my parents can use to get out on and that is to the North. To get to school my mom goes two miles north, two miles east and hits highway 32 then heads to Valley. The problem isn't so much the water, it is the roads that USED to be there to drive on. It was sad to hear that one of our neighbors to the South is probably going to abandon the farmstead and move. 
Here is the last picture we took on the Sheldon road. We were going to venture down to the Stansbery farm, however we couldn't figure out a way to get there. All of the roads between Leonard and Sheldon, heading South, were closed. CRAZY! We feel so bad for our friends in Sheldon.
