And my wife's cousin owns a little ranch beside the rail tracks that they do horse back rides and such and it's 2' under water. They had to move all their horses 2X as the water just kept rising.

Sorry to hear this!! So terrible. I've grown up here and I've never seen anything like this. YEs we get bad storms, but so many areas affected.....I hope your friends and family are somewhere safe and that the worst is over. Somehow I don't think it is with more rain in the forecast....

Thanks. We've been in touch with everyone and everyone's safe. Here's a recent aerial pic of the highway where cougar creek used to run under it.

And here's a vid, you can actually see my buddy's place in it.

Kien and I have both been evacuated. Hoping they can avoid cutting power.

Greg isn't even in town so hopefully his house is ok (in deer run with me)
