Like the old saying, God willing and the creek dont rise!
Thanks guys
I couldn't figure out why the water was so low in front of my house So, I drove down to the end of the road To see.
Well it turns out that the flood gates are closed, so, the head of water on the other side of them is about 6 or 8' higher than where my ditch ends.
so what that means, is that If the floodgates fail, or if They are topped,I lose about 8' of elevation out of my ditch. So, if it weren't for the flood gates being closed, I'd be right back where I was a couple of days ago.
It was very strange, driving along the levy Seeing the river with in a couple feet of the top, but It being higher than The cab of my truck flowing by.
The roads are all water covered two miles down.
Crest is tomorrow sometime.
