My little ham. Sophie didn't seem to mind the thunderstorm that was raging all around.
The bottom gates when Dad and I were leaving for home. The water does go over the tops of rubber boots-trust me on this one. By the time I got back into the truck I was soaked from the thigh's down. The whole trying to not move or splash doesn't work with that kind of current.
This is a bit of the road right past Kimberlite Farms on Donaldson. just a little bit of water. . . .
We got through the first deep flood spot-which we probably shouldn't have but we had to turn around here. That stop sign has about 8 inches of the post visible. I'll bet that church is underwater, I know that whole feild was underwater.
That mail box belongs to the guy near the end of Donaldson that has all those pretty horses and big cows. we had to turn around because the water was so high we couldn't get through it. I do have a video of us driving through it, but dad didn't want that one posted.
Washed the whole underside of the truck pretty good to. That other guy sat and watched, he followed us around quite a bit to try and find a way out of the area.
Needless to say, we went back across White Turley, was informed Wades Mill was flooded down by the 'bridge', ie the mexican's little place was probably floating away. We went down the other end of Wades Mill and watched a fence disappear in a dip and resurface farther down the road-all under water. We ended up going halfway to Paris(627) back into Winchester and then the interstate home. Talk about the long way around!!
Let's just hope the water level's go down by tomorrow morning.

Holy crap!!! That's a lot of water! I didn't even realize you guys had that much rain. We got rain with that last bunch of storms that moved through, but more wind than anything. Stay safe!
dad's truck still has some of the grass from the flood waters in the grill. grilled grass anyone?? it's almost like seaweed.
