Here are the soccer fields Noe used to play on- her friends played a game here on Saturday. Not sure how deep it is, but I do know that the water has left only about a foot of the goalposts showing.

I was floored by the amount of flooding here. My mom called me and told me to go to our friend's neighborhood that backs up to a lake- they were out of town and she wanted me to check to see if their house was OK- it's less than a year old. I would have loved to have driven in the neighborhood, BUT they closed one road right behind me, and then I found this: (Note: house is OK, yard is very wet)


And if you look to the right from here, is this:


The lake that backs up to their house is stocked with lots of fish, so I'm guessing that the fishies are now over there to the right now.
