Yesterday this creek was 6 inchs deep and a couple of feet wide...Overnite we got heavy rains up near the Canadian border..My daughter checked the cows this morning- and said everything was fine...
About 4PM received a call that the whole creek bottom was flooded- and we had cows stranded on islands and swimming...
Luckily a passerby cut the fences in several places- and let our cows and calves that hadn't found high ground out- and also let several of Cornwells yearlings that were being washed down the creek get into ours...
Looking east down the creek...
Our horse pasture and hay field- looking from the yard...This is the pasture we left cows and calves in yesterday..
Horses are high and dry on the old road- a couple bunchs of Cornwell yearlings are stranded on islands for the night...
You can see the berm of the old road center right in this picture...That is where there used to be an old bridge- and right now the water is rolling thru there about 20 feet deep...
This is looking west over toward the pasture the cows were in..
Looking northwest toward the pasture and flooded hayfields-The trees are where the house and corrals are..This is the corner where several of Cornwells yearlings were trapped.. Can't tell yet if we are missing anything or not- altho the good samaritan that cut the fences said he saw a calf or yearling go under the bridge and never come back up..
