The same happened here but naturally I have no standing water..hehe .....but the creek that meanders at the base of this ridge is almost overflowing and looks like white water rapids. Several yards along that road are flooded too.<br /><br />I had to run a quick errand today and it started spitting snow..right before dark it was a white out with snow....but only lasted for a short time...I guess we will get more tonight and tomorrow.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />StephanieStephanie Suzanne Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121430170088480348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-63301828064869089762010-01-25T18:45:10.516-06:002010-01-25T18:45:10.516-06:00Oh! that must have been scary when the strong wind...Oh! that must have been scary when the strong winds came and with all that water.

My sister said they did too, but not as bad as you. Trust there was no major damage and things will soon dry out. I always root for the under dog.
