The January Flood

A few pics of the recent flooding...unfortunately, we didn't get these taken until the water had receded for a full day, but it was still incredible to see areas that are normally dry completely covered with water!
Looking out over the edge of downtown from the road going down the hill Pioneer Hwy. looks like a waterfront drive!
Our route to Sunday morning meeting...closed as of that Friday! It was open again by Sunday morning. We drove over some remaining debris and mud on the roads and saw debris up to the tops of fences, but the water had receded back to the farmland. We were so glad that the water didn't get into our friends' houses!
Another view out over the valley, all normally dry
On our way out after meeting on Sunday...we went out via the south route and encountered some water still over the roads. Not terribly deep, but still flowing!
A spot where the ground had washed out under the side of the road
Water clearly still flowing toward the left
