well, we survived the flood! we were lucky enough to be visiting callie
during all of the craziness and missed out on all of the blocked roads.
the melt off creek by our house is still flowing, but we can now tell
that all of the creeks are starting to go down a bit and look less
frightening. our town was lucky compared to some of the other ones north
of us, but it is still crazy to see some of the destruction. electrical
trucks are holding up electrical poles along the creek and there is
even an area where part of a parking lot is gone and lost in the creek. a
few nights ago the national guard was in downtown helping with clean
up. i am sure they are helping the area that is shown in the first
video, but only people who live up there are allowed down the road. i
can only imagine the destruction that has happened to all of the
beautiful homes that are along the creek. here are some youtube videos i
found of our town during the flood.
