We live on the Ocqueoc River. Our house is high up on a ridge and is set back 400 ft. from the river.
When we built here they told us that there was a 100 year flood plain down by the river. If we would have built closer to the river the house would be sitting in the water at this time. After all of the snow melting from the storm and all the rain we've had here the last two days, the river has finally flooded some of our property. Here are a few pictures.
The river is flooding on both sides. Normally this bend is only about 10 to 12 feet across.
Normally the banks in the summer are about 5 feet above the water level
This is yet another view of the water flowing on the property.
This poor bird is sitting up on the tallest trees by the river. Hopefully it didn't lose a nest.
The alpacas, and all other animals are fine. They are just a little wet and the barnyard and pastures have a lot of water in them. We are supposed to have more rain this afternoon. Friday is going to be a sunny day. We sure do need it.
So sorry to see this. So much bad weather this year. It is a good think you did not build your house closer. Take care and hopefully you don't have higher water.
