Fog Lifts and Clouds Move Out

When I woke up this morning it was foggy, but as daylight arrived the fog had started to lift. I made some coffee and waited until about 7:30 to let the ducks out and take a ride around the farm to see what damage had been done by the creek and rain. I headed down the road and looked at the patch where we grew the mums and the water there wasn't bad. I pulled down to the creek and took a picture looking down the creek as the sun popped over the hilltop.
 
The next place I headed was across the creek and back in the 'holler' to see if any trees had fell or anything had washed down into the 4 wheeler trails. Things were OK, there was some gravel filling in the brook and causing a puddle about a foot deep to form, but that will be easy to clean out with the tractor. Water was still flowing through the brook to the creek.
 
I headed back out of the 'holler' and noticed that the sun was rising and burning off the fog.
 
I drove around the hill towards the north and saw Phil Garmon was on his tractor stringing his fence across the creek. It had been ripped down by the high water. There was a big log in his field and several small pieces in our hayfield. We talked a few minutes about the flooding and both of us bitching about the creek getting out of it's banks, then we said 'see ya' and I headed on down the creek checking for more debris. Eventually I made it back across the creek and to the house.
We headed into town for lunch and I told Linda I wanted to drive over to Waterview to check out the flood damage that Phil had told me about. The KY State Highway Dept. is putting in a new bridge and they had built a temporary bridge to allow traffic to get over the creek while the new bridge is finished. There were 4 or 5 big pipes with rock piled on top and paving over that as the temporary bridge. So I guess, Sunday night the rain was so hard the creek flooded. The opening in the temporary bridge wasn't big enough to handle the flow, so the water backed up, got inside the Waterview Church and at least one house, then overflowed the bridge and washed it out. They were using cranes, bulldozers and backhoes to replace the temporary bridge. We ended up eating and coming home.
We heard the water department in town had put out a boil water advisory for our area. Great, we're not supposed to bathe with the water and have to boil it to drink. Stacey, Linda and I worked on a flower bed at the end of our walkway until almost dark when Regina came over and we set in chairs at the door of the garage watching as the sun went down.
