...and the floods came up. It had been raining off and on since Sunday. Yesterday, it rained steadily all day and the creek rose alarmingly high. But prayers were said by many, and at 2am this morning, it started to recede. Usually, you can see the rocks at the bottom of this creek and twice the amount of bricks along the bank. The current is very swift and at some spots looks good enough for white water rafting!
This is a view from the parking of the Post Office downtown, taken at 9am this morning. The Postmistress said the creek was 6 inches from the top at 9pm last night and almost even with the top at 2am. The far side of the creek is lower than the side I was standing on, so some of the houses on that side did get a little water in their cellars. But most of the homes were safe, unlike the Flood of 2006.
