flooding in our town

We had so much rain that the Salt River flooded our little downtown area in Shepherdsville.

On Sunday, the Sasquatch and I drove down to the flea market.  The outdoor area was all under water.

I guess this is normally an area where concrete statues are for sale.  Most are under water but it was sort of funny to see this Easter Island statue looking like he was popping his head out to take a look at the situation.

These two Bigfoot statues and a deer (with white antlers) look like they are trudging through the flood waters looking for higher ground.

 We started home on the road through town, but the Salt River bridge was barricaded.
We walked across the bridge. Usually you would have to crane your neck to see down to the river. Not today!

There's the downtown area...

The next day Lonnie and I drove down to take another look. 

Business owners had brought in trucks and trailers and were loading up their equipment and merchandise since the water was still rising.

The building in the photo below is our public library. Look how close the water is!

At home we had a little water getting into our basement, which happens from time to time.

This time it was leaking in through the opening in the wall where our electric panel is mounted.

Scary, but it has happened in the past. Nothing shorted out and we stayed away from the whole mess until it dried out.

So many people with worse problems than that to deal with.
