Stranded but safe...........

We are all Ok here.....

Above is my little river, and below is how it usually looks.

It is the same place believe it or not. Some of the photos are not that clear as the are taken on my phone..

Above is taken from my front veranda and below is a close up of the tank near the creek and how far it came up.

Below you can see the creek has reached my front fence. All that water near the trees is across the road where the kids ride there bikes.

So yes the creek came all the way up to my house the highest this has ever been....

Below the creek in my yard at the rental house across the road. Taken from my veranda

Below here is the creek Tuesday afternoon.


It is still a raging mess and this bridge is also unpassable.

I am so thankful we are all OK here. We have no power or phone and they may be out for weeks. All my children are safe and extended family are safe.

I cannot get out as every bridge and crossing here has been wiped out...

There used to be a bridge here into Helidon...

This is our main road out and this bridge is not to good....Robbie said he can put me on the back of the motor bike and we can jump it.....I will pass on that.

So no way in and no way out...

We have a generator that we can run the fridge freezer and inter net on ...I am a person that likes candles so we are fine there, and our drinking warer is good as we have tank water.....

Will post again when I can charce my computer.....

Blessings to all
