How high's the water ? ?

You can barely make out the restaurant in the background here...

The river in the pictures above are probably within 1/8 mile of my in-laws house, across flat ground...but, just across the yard from there house is the Birch Tree Holler creek...here's father-in-law fording it in his Dodge, with water pouring over road into their yard...

[Chevy454]

A bend in the creek, directly adjacent to their house on the right of the frame...

[Chevy454]

And here's Frederick Creek, across a creek bottom out the back door of our new house...

[Chevy454]

Another shot out the back door...

[Chevy454]

Here's a shot from up close, across our fenceline, down in our bottom field...

[Chevy454]

The low water bridge at the edge of our property...lots of folks down this gravel road are stuck until the water goes down...

[Chevy454]

Our dog, trying to ford the low water bridge...right after this shot she got swept down the creek, but showed back up in a few minutes...!

[Chevy454]

Luckily, our house sits on a hill over looking the bottom...here's a shot from the edge of the low water bridge, with Frederick Creek running from 7 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the frame...our house is within a few hundred yards at it's closest point, but uphill...

Rob, I thought about you and Tom when I saw all this water rising and heard the news last nite. I am in Marion right now and the lake between here and Carbondale is inches from spilling over the highway. yesterday in Jonesboro,IL water had taken over nearly everything.. Take care in MO and keep those cars dry.. Glad the dog showed back up, sounds like he had an interesting ride.... Oh, and thanks for the Birthday wishes guys .
