Here Comes The Water

Here are the pictures from Sunday. This picture of the hat in the road was taken at 6:25 am. Howie and Rick were there early to get things rolling. With the water coming up we were all pushing it. We had a caravan running to Jim & John Bethmann's farm and up on the hill with the other equipment. All implements went on the hill but if it had an engine we left it at their farm due to fuel theft and vandalism. They are starting to build a levy around their place too but the equipment will be dry for awhile. It bought us a few days to move it again if we have to. Oh , there was a cycling event going on yesterday too. Since Hwy C was flooded they sent them all down Silvers Rd. That made things very interesting.

This picture was taken at 10:15 am.

This one was at 2:19 pm.

This is at 3:50 pm.

This is at 5:18 pm.

This is at 6:42 pn.

This is Hwy C looking north from Silvers Rd. at 7:30 pm.

Dave just called and we have about 1 foot before it runs in the driveway. We still have the grain wagon with corn on it, the planter and the pump to get out. Along with the JD4440 and JD8630. Everything in the house is gone except for the pump whice we will attempt to get today. The shed is as cleaned out as we can get it. This is before we took the last minute tools and such. Cookie was out there all day helping me get all the last minute things done. Susie and Laurie also came out and helped. Jus when we thought we were not going to make it because we only had part of Dave's pickup truck to use, due to fuel tank and tool box, here came De to the rescue.

I forgot to tell him to take Silver's Rd. so he drove in Hwy C. He said it was a bit deep. We had him loaded to the top with fridge, hot water heater and trash. We would like to thank all my family and all our wonderful who showed up to help. We could never have accomplished it without you. Also thanks to all who couldn't make it but were able to help in all the other ways. We reallly appreciated everything.

Well got to run. More pictures and info to come.

Love,

Mickey
