Flood Update 7-18-2008









Dave and I went out to the Bethmann Farm today. The first thing we noticed the how much the water had gone down. We were able to drive in on Hwy C. It was clear of water until just north of the Busch farm. Check out the shed and house pictures.











Then I went closer to the house and found an orange sticker on the window. Condemned! Imagine that. I guess that is what happens when it has water half way up the walls.


The basement is still full of water. We can't pump it until the water level is down a bit further.
Here is a look at the fields behind the house.



This is looking south toward Silvers Rd.




The fields on the east side of Hwy. C are about clear. They aren't dry yet. That might take a bit longer.
We went for a ride toward Hwy. B. Dave wants to move the tractor from Black Walnut so we went to check out the water situation. This is what it looked like at Hwy. B and Hwy. C.
This is a picture of the Ballwin Farm. We didn't make it much further that this. The water was just around the corner so we turned around ad went back.
That is it for now. Check back soon.
Dryer Summer,
Love,
Mickey
