The flood

Image
It's no secret that we've had a crazy amount of rain lately, and as a result, there is some pretty impressive flooding going on.  Some people have asked me to share pictures, so here you go...  This woodchuck was seeking shelter from the water on the raised railroad track bed  old railroad track bridge - normally there is a lot more clearance  the water creeping up to our neighbor's house  across the street from our house...the Grand River is about 1/4 - 1/2 mile back, and this is the path we normally walk on to get there  In Lowell, the water from the Grand River and the Flat River flowed through downtown and residential neighborhoods.  Our church services were cancelled this week.  Some of the devastation along M-21 between Lowell and Saranac  Checking out the flooding  Our little stream became a raging torrent, and Kevin's bridge washed downstream
