This Lake holds lots of water. We are expection Beaver and Table Rock to dump some our way soon in addition to our own runoff.<br /><br />BE careful crossing those creeks. It really scares me to cross so-called low water bridges.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529410.post-72977709184266247232009-10-31T07:51:07.381-05:002009-10-31T07:51:07.381-05:00Oh yeah, there's lots of flash flooding here. ...Oh yeah, there's lots of flash flooding here. It's not like the floods in the desert where a wall of water appears down a dry wash, though. Usually there's a small creek and it just swells until the creek can't contain the water any more. But it does this fast sometimes. There's a limit to how high the water can be to safely cross it, and it also depends on what you're driving. In the car, I won't cross a bridge with much water at all. In the truck, because it is so much heavier, we can tolerate a lot more. But when the water is really angry and tumbling over the bridge carrying trees, and even big rocks, there is no safe passage. We just have to stay put until it calms down. <br /><br />I didn't realize it was so wet out in the corn fields this fall. That is bad. If it is a widespread issue, feed prices will go up for sure.Roxannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16716381674721778467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529410.post-35473772291198237252009-10-30T22:19:21.352-05:002009-10-30T22:19:21.352-05:00I live about 200 yards from the Kankakee River in ...I live about 200 yards from the Kankakee River in Illinois, its very very high and the ditches along the roads are almost to overflowing and the water is pouring out of the corn fields. Lots of rain. Farmers say to wet to bring in the corn and its starting to rot on the stalks. Bad Situation, wet wet October.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16065115276540028719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529410.post-59375991461659031672009-10-30T20:50:38.646-05:002009-10-30T20:50:38.646-05:00Wow; that is some weather story.

I didn't realize that in the mountainous area you would have such problems.<br /><br />Every year, here in the desert, people in cars are washed away and drowned crossing " washes " that have flooded from rain. Water is heavy and moving water is powerful.<br /><br />Be careful ....... bobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
