Damage Survey

Took a small tour of the flood damage by kayak today. Pretty bad all together. A lot of people are out of luck in our neightborhood and surrouding streets.
Curt and I found this friendly black mare stranded on a grass high spot next to a riverside playground. Seemed liked he was pretty hungy. Must have been the swim.


Here are just a few other random shots we got while on our disaster survey.

This house was actually picked up and moved. Can't tell from the picture but its sitting crooked.





"Howdy neighbors!"



Looks like this kid was turning a bad situation into a little fun. I guess no one told him that flood waters are contaminated.







River Trace... quite ironic.

Evacuated!!!

Sunday night around 9pm we were evacuated from our home due to the cumberland river rising 60ft above flood stage. Our home was spared thankfully, but many of our neighbors were not so fortunate. I will tell more later. For now, we are all safe, dry, and very very blessed.
