that sucks... did you wake up to sounds of water?

 

[D'Animal]

I walked through the office and steping in something wet. I was ready to yell a a Beagle for piddling on the carpet. Nope 1" of water flowing through tht office.

 

[D'Animal]

I just walked the property. The large 60" culvert tube and all the smaller ones are 100% capacity. Water is flowing over the road. It sounds like rapids in a river and we can hear it from the house.

Is your house on a raised foundation or slab

 

[D'Animal]

On a slab. The creeks are out of their banks.

Once the flood is finished get commercial dehumidifies in there fast. Pull all carpet now it only holds in the water, get a few large push brooms, be extremely careful plugging in anything electrcal. Call insurance now.Large fans are also helpful. Good Luck MIke

A dam partially went and is overflowing back in the back country on the west side and it flooded many houses sround my inlaws. these was a river basically splitting their property. 2 levies broke in the area and one they are having a hard time patching them.

Pretty much all of the lower areas in the valley are flooded. One of the dams in the back broke.

The spillway to the dam to the 7 acre lake up the valley broke in 1992. It was never fixed.

Like Hudyhue said, trash, a big Wheel, a BarBQue and a few other house hold items were lodged in the neighbors culvert tubes.

 

[hudyhue]

Well Dan like we said just glad we could help !

A few pictures.

The top one is the bridge you drive over to get to my place. The culvert tube is 5' in diameter and running at full capacity. Two pallets and a sheet of ply wood were found in the culvert tube after the water went down.


The bottom picture is the "T" intersection. The Big Wheel was lodged in the culvert tube as well as a webber BarBQue.


Gross Negligence by a neighbors caused the flooding.

Ditches are for water, not your trash.
