[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1449390, member: 18945"] Going by the debris left behind, water only got up to 3 1/2 steps out of 7 steps on the front porch. I still had 2 1/2-3' of air between the water and the inside top of the floor. I do wish I had waded out and taken some pictures of the house or from the boat as we were leaving, but had other things on my mind. I was standing on the back porch which is the same height as the front porch when I took these pictures. Top one is the day before the highest water, bottom one is next morning about an hour before we evacuated. Had I known the river was going to crest where it did, we would have stayed, but I just didn't know how much higher the water was going to get. [url=https://postimg.org/image/5zc6des1h/][img]https://s26.postimg.org/5zc6des1h/flood12.jpg[/img][/url] The water continued to rise after we left. I can see the water line on the inside of the shop door.it's about 6-8" above the door knob. Unmistakable film of oil/gasoline/diesel all around the shop walls and doors. Water got high enough to knock the bbq pit over, either by flow velocity or floated it up. Water was flowing at a high rate, left to right in these pictures. I got everything running except the Leyland tractor which was apart and will now never run again, and my brother's 8n Ford tractor. Got it (8n) drained, rotating but the 70 year old starter gave up the ghost while I was trying to get it to fire. I put the starter in the shop in town to get rewound and am having it rewound for 12 volts instead of using that big resistor to drop 12 volts down to 8 volts.

The fence is not broken, all wires are still intact and tight. I have no idea where it came from. I'm going to try to get out today and take some pictures of the rest of the place.
