I'm standing outside, and all I can hear is water, water, water as my two creeks roar down my hill. The water churning down those creeks may be carving out bridges and flooding out my neighbors. My house is up on a hill, and water goes through one side of my basement wall and out the other, so I'm in no danger of flooding. But so many others are losing their homes tonight. It's insane and sad.
I've never heard such a roar. All I hear is water coming from the sky, and water coming down the hill. Donna and Tim moved with their animals, and their mom and her animals, into the second floor of their shop. I called my sister last night--she was at a rehearsal miles from home, and I hope she was able to make it back tonight, and that her house doesn't flood yet again.
All these people losing their homes to the water, with insurance that won't pay a dime because flooding isn't covered...
Facebook is a lifeline. It's the only way to find out what's going on, anymore.
Stay safe, everyone. Stay safe.

We should be okay - we're on the hill. In 2006, we kept power and internet. We had to boil water. I hope for the same this year.
its very terrible on this side of the county, Fall Creek maybe the highest I have seen behind my house, but hopefully it will all settle down later....
