Inside my barn (which is 20 or more yards from the stream) the water was 6-8" high. Joy. Not.
You can see the water line on my trunks, filing cabinet and trash can. Oie!
The grasses indicate the water was this high...holy moly. Glad I slept through most of it. At the edge of that woodpile there is a 7-8' drop off. Thank goodness. My house sits high and dry. Phew!
The rushing stream (and debris) took out several sections of fencing.
Do you see the debris on the bridge? Yup...the water came THAT HIGH! Eeeeek!
It also took out our gate...you can see it in the middle there...barely hanging on. That gate needed to be replaced. It was almost bent in half. Drats.
This was 5 hours after the rain had ceased. When I first looked out (it was still dark) this entire field was under water...bridge included. I was happy to see it survived.
More shots of the damage. I just hope Mother Nature is once again happy...and will give us a reprieve. We certainly need it.
Repair and "after" photos to come! Stay tuned!!!
