more flood photos


The floods rose higher on January 9th. The road just beyond our house was closed for a number of days as the river took it over in a rushing torrent. The shipping container in the picture is in the field where our raspberries are just down the road from our house. It gives a good idea of how high the water was in the valley.
This picture is of the bottom of our property, looking out from the back deck. Along with all of the water came a huge population of ducks dotting the huge "lake" and the shots of hunters filled the air. The water has receded from our land, but still fills the valley.
