Flooding




We've had heavy, heavy rain. The rivers surged, the rivers jumped their banks, and the valley was flooded. Greg had huge problems just driving to school. I went out to scope out the road closures for Greg's drive home from school.

The sign closest to the camera reads "Water over roadway". No kidding. At night, it's surprisingly difficult to see that the road is covered with water. You'd think it would be easy to see the centerline and fog lines disappear, but it's not.

Behind the camera position, there were huge white and orange striped temporary 'Road Closed' barricades.
