flood

[boxofdelights]

This is what the creek at the bottom of the pasture at my husband's house looked like this afternoon:the creek
not the creek
and it has been raining steadily since then.

Mungo is at work now, planning to drive home to my husband's house tonight. I told him DO NOT DRIVE INTO A FLOOD. If you see water running across the road, turn around, stay in town tonight. I know he won't want to because he has no clean clothes here. He is a fastidious boy. Neal says the road between Fort Collins and his house is fine, and if that changes, the county will put up road blocks. They are on top of it.

Neal thinks Mungo's greatest danger is getting stuck in the driveway, which would be really quite inconvenient since Neal is flying to California tomorrow for his nephew's wedding. We'll see if Mungo has learned anything since April.

I hope everyone stays safe! Floods are terrifying. I'm still shaking off the last bits of PTSD from ours, and ours was quite slow-moving as far as river floods go.

Saw the photos on CNN this morning. Yipes! I hope everybody's got a safe place to hunker down - and in the case of impulsive young men, the good sense to. ;)
