Water, water everywhere

Not trying to take anything away from the Gulf coast, but the local flooding here was worse than anything I've ever seen in my entire life. It actually set a new record of over 35 feet. Flood stage is 29 feet.
This is all in Kay Co. and the Blackwell area.

More...this is all farmland just outside of town and about a 1/4 to 1/2 mi. from river.

 

[stoney56]

A few more just inside town.

And it's all this guy's fault......

But some people take advantage of the situation when it arises and get in a little fishing time.

The lil girl fishing is just priceless! Just goes to show no matter how yucky things might look someone can find something good in it! Did someone kick the guy with the hose?? sheeesh look at that mess he made!!

We know this isn't much for alot of aresa or the devestation on the Gulf, but, like Jeff said it has never been this hig in our life times its hard to see the rushing water. I think he is posting some more tonight ! The flood waters stopped just short of 2 blocks from his parents house.

Soooo glad it stopped short of his parent's house! They have had quite enough excitement lately without flooding too!

Great job with the post Jeff! Glad you folks are safe, thats a ton of water! Here's hoping you get a bunch of this to dry it all up, may take a while though!

The guy with the hose is just wrong! But that little girl fishing is too cute. Did she catch anything?

Jeff,

I assume this was the result of "Ike" passing through.

BTW...did she catch anything?

We did not wait to see I was walking along and scarin a ton of frogs back in the water! The first pic of barricades shows it had already fallen quite a bit the night before when it first crested the only part of the barricade you could see was the top couple of inches, now the Salt Fork river which is what the Arkansas flows into is about 2 foot from the top that will flood when the rest of the rain that fell up North flows down.
