85/365 Flood report

As is our routine after a big storm, we drove around the neighborhood/countryside/town this evening to assess the wrath left behind by the latest rains.

Buster came, excited as always for a ride in the car.
At one intersection is a beautiful farm with overflowing flower baskets hanging on the porch, white painted fences, and sheep that were watching us watch them:
We drove by Tina's house (our horse trainer) to check out part of her pasture. She has one pasture that sits at the bottom of a valley and a creek winds through the middle. After the storms earlier in the week, the water rose so quickly that she had to wade out into chest-deep water for her horses to swim to her to get out!

This time she was able to keep them on higher ground before the rain, but the height of the water was still amazing.
After we left Tina's, we drove down to a McCloud Nature Park. It has several trails and a canoe launch area, so we knew it would be flooded.

This is one trail head. The posts with reflectors are a little taller than my knees.
The turquoise trail marker in this picture is about hip-high.

And these trees aren't usually growing in the middle of a rushing river.I've never seen flooding like this. I can only imagine what it's like south of Indianapolis, where some areas got nearly 11 inches last night and today. Our rain gauge only had 2.1 inches today.
