The first couple days of May we got 15.75 inches of rain. It lead to a huge flood. Good thing we live high enough we didn't get any water in our house. The standing water by the boys window made their room smell really musty for a few days. We slept them in the guest room and ran a fan for 4 days. Dave dug up the mud around their window and let it dry until the smell went away. We think we are good now. Here are a few pictures and movies we took over the 2 days of storms.
Springbrook Dam.

This is the water treatment plant by our house. The 'lake' you see in front of it is a mini airfield. People are here most every weekend flying their mini airplanes.
The bridge on Passmore. The fields on both sides we full of water. this road closed soon after Dave left to help with CERT. The water went down just enough so he was able to get home Saturday night.
The field on the other side of Passmore.
Christmasville Road, if you look close you can see a can that tried to get through.
Our culdesac
Front side of our house. You can see our garden running out the fence and down to the drain. There was a good 5 inches standing there.
2 blocks away at the bottom of our neighborhood. There is a tiny little stream the flows through here, but I've never been able to see the water before.
The water is all the way up to their house.
Someones corn field. When all the water drained away most of the corn looked just fine but all the cotton was ruined.
