About 3 am Jan woke me up and told me we were having one whale of a rainstorm. We went to the basement and rolled back the floorcovering, a common occurance this summer. During an early morning visit to town we realized just how much water we actually had. Somewhere between 3 and 6 inches. While in town we found out some folks were stranded in their homes just east of town. After being rescued by boat these homeless were taken to a church. We met the families there and offered our cabin. An older lady accepted and is staying until she can make more permenent plans.
Later in the morning Kurt deceided to check crops on our creek bottom. I don't think he found them.
Around noon the firechief stopped at our farm and asked if there was a way we could get him to the neighbor down the road. Since our neighbor has two dogs we deceided the jet ski wasn't an option so BJ took him in the next best thing, the Ro-gator.

Since a farmer, a firechief, a neighbor, a newfoundland, and a beagle are too many to get in a Ro-gator another neighbor came with his boat and taxied them across the field.
