It's Flooding Around Here!! But We Are OKAY

This is a picture of the bridge that leads to our walking track. It was completely covered with water and flowing debris. If you look closely you can see the benches almost covered with water.
The bathroom at the track was dry, but all around it was covered.
This picture is of the drag strip that is 1/4 mile from our house. It appears to have a total of 10 feet of water covering the track.
This field (yes, it used to be a field) was planted last month and little plants were showing through yesterday.
A whole row of power poles were knocked down at First Monday yesterday in the tornado that touched down in Ripley.
These buildings were also knocked over yesterday during the storm.
This picture shows how high the water was in Ripley at their walking track. I estimate it to be at least 6 feet high.
This roof was taken off a building in Ripley and landed in the parking lot of Mi Pueblo.

  3. I'm glad everyone is ok! We had places that were flooded, too! Such as the park along the river where we would run, It was deeply flooded.
