The snow that we had a few days ago didn't last, in fact, it warmed up very fast. Not such a great thing. The rain has hit hard, snow from the mountains has melted, and our little town of Scio is flooded.
Last night was spent in town preparing for the flood, that at the time, might happen. We went into work this morning. Water crossed the roads in many spots and we had to wait for cars to pass in order to go around logs, but all together, not too bad. Town was bustling with sandbags being delivered and people being evacuated.
Surrounding towns are also suffering and all ways out of town are closed, except the highway. We knew that we had to get home. We had to go around our normal route because our road was closed.
Here at the farm we are doing ok. You wouldn't know it on any other day, but we are a bit higher up than some of our neighbors. We just have lots of puddles -- not much different from when it rains heavy without flooding. Please keep us and our little town in your prayers.
