Unbelievable amount of water.

M, I guess instead of running nekkid in the woods, we'll have to go skinny dipping!

I might as well have gone skinny dipping yesterday for all my clothes ended up being worth. Water is cold this time of year... let's wait for the skinny dipping.

Tonight's update is much better. The water has receded enough to where Forest can now walk around his house again!!! The area where the photo was taken is now dry for the most part, and it's receding more every hour. The inside of the house is not so lucky right now... but it's going slowly but surely. It is down from last night.

Things are looking up. He can now get in and out of the house by foot, and not kayaking into the front door. Apparently, B has a photo of both Forest and their son doing this last evening. lol So it's getting there. Whew...

Thank you for the updates! I've never seen water as high as it has been this spring. This is amazing and disheartening at the same time.
