In the previous posting, we mentioned there was no flooding. Well, we wrote it too early. The water rose to touch the tires on our RV.
The top picture here is of the cabin across the road from us. The cabin backs up to the creek. You can see that the water is licking at the base of the cabin. The creek level rose at least six feet higher than it was while writing the previous posting.
The other photo was taken from the window of our RV. It shows that the lot next to us is completely under water. As a matter of fact, the water reached the tires on our RV. Our water and sewer hookups were under flood waters. It was an unsettling feeling to be surrounded by water.
What did we do? We sat and watched the first round of the U.S. Open tennis tournament. Marat Safin had two foot faults called on him and he went completely nuts. John McEnroe, a former champion who was announcing for NBC, came in a close second in the "nuts" department.
All in all, we must have gotten about ten inches of rain in the last two days. Dahlonega, just 20 miles to our West, reported 9.5 inches in today's rains.
Just as quickly as the creek flooded, it receded. We got out of the RV for a little while, but we both have a serious case of "cabin fever." We need to be doing something else.
