Whoa, Mama! The river's rising!

7 a.m.

The Little Cannon River...

usually about 2-3 feet deep at this point

has swelled over 6 foot banks

to climb up the incline towards our home.


Patio and wall were built after the 1998 flood -

which was considered a "500 year flood".


Nothing had come closer than the tree in the center

for the 25 years before that surprise.
