April 27-28, 2011 - Storms and Floods

Flash flooding

Don't think I have ever seen the lake this high

You don't see water pouring out of a 120 volt outlet everyday!

My 12 year old dock

Now I know why I have never seen the lake this high.

I built this bridge back in 2000, I think. Just waiting for it to go down the creek

The bridge held it's ground, somehow

Johnny's Lake

Braden Road crossing Rocky Mountain Creek. You can see the high water on the right side. Within an hour it would be flowing over the road

This is our only way in and out of civilization. Our 2200 foot tap water is also under this

The next day

It will be difficult to repair this without damaging the water lines

Erosion, I'm a genius

The 4 foot diameter tile is mostly blocked by...something

Johnny's dock beached from when the water went back down to normal levels. It should be interesting getting it back in the water

Ain't she perty!

Briley carefully checking out the damage

The unfinished repair
