Flooding

This week has brought several inches of rain to our area. The rivers across Arkansas have been flooding. It is always nervewracking when flooding is in the forcast. We have a creek in our back yard and our yard usually ends up with leaves, branches and trash in it when the creek overflows. Most of the rain we got this week came either at night or while we were at work so I didn't get a picture of our "flood". Here is a picture from this past summer when the creek overflowed.

All of the brown is water...it almost made it to our back deck. The creek is below the little bridge and is about 3 feet wide. It is scary how fast the water rises.

Where does the creek go after your house? It's not behind my sisters, so I thought it was just sort of a drain, not a creek? Hmm...
