It started raining on Wednesday (the 23rd) and didn't stop till Thursday night! Boy did it rain! They were closing streets and highways all over the state! Hwy 49 from Jonesboro to Hickory Ridge was fine. However, the main gravel road we take to my mom and dad's house was flooded bad enough we had to take a back farm road, and it was pretty deep in parts. Luckily, it was just the roads!
I took these pictures from the truck . . . .
The shop, bins and the farm house. . .
The farm road we ended up taking to get to mom & dad's and Grandma & Grandpa's house Christmas eve. I am glad we stayed the night, I wouldn't have wanted to drive back down it in the dark! But the rest of the family did and made it just fine.
The main road on Christmas day, it still hadn't gone down much from the day before. My mom & dad and Grandma & Grandpa live where you see the trees in the distance. a long way to go on a flooded road, so we turned around and went the other way!
the swirling water is where the culvert is, the water here in this ditch is VERY deep!
