A Couple of Pictures

The first picture is our front yard and the street in front of it.  The water is from the Ogeechee River which is down the street and across the road.



The next picture is our backyard, the water, which is a lagoon, should be back behind the statue.  It eventually came all the way up to the steps of our deck.  There was even a turtle swimming in out backyard.



We live in an area, because of the threat of flooding, where houses are required to be build 14 feet about the ground.   So I didn't worry too much about the water getting in the house, though I worried about it getting into the garage, it's at ground level.  and damaging the car.  It didn't get in.

    That's still a lot of water. So glad everything was safe and no major problems. You have electricity, don't you? I suppose you have a lot of debris that floated or flew in. So happy you are both okay!

    Hope the cleaning up isn't too stressful. We helped some folk here in Aus. clean up after flooding and it's an awful mess once the water recedes. Thoughts are with you & hope you get some help.

    Glad you stayed safe and that your area takes flood precautions seriously by building above the ground level. A lot of water!

    I am glad you are safe and that your house stayed dry. It is a good precaution to build above ground level! I hope the water on your grounds recedes quickly. x

    Prayers answered, thank goodness. Now I know why some houses in the US are built above ground level.

    So glad you are all okay and that the water didn't get into your garage. It's a good job your house is raised above street level though, what a lot of water:)

    Have been away but thinking about how everyone has been managing over there and in other places. So much damage and tragedy. Glad you're safe.
