The first picture is of Boyce's deer feeder that is in the field beside the house. Water got within 3" of the top of the barrel. The brown vertical line in the bottom of the 2nd picture is the waterline before it started receding. The red building is the vet clinic across from the house. The 3rd pic is from the front doorstep. The clinic, house and barn sit on a slight hill about 50-75 ft higher than the creek behind the house. They were lucky none of the power lines are low so they still have power and phones. There was a large herd of deer up around the house seeking refuge from the water.
Half of the homes in town had water in them before the water level started dropping. The town was under voluntary evacuation and all roads leading into town had been closed.
