What Were They Thinking?

What is that in the middle of the Cowskin Creek? That would be 2 tractors. I don't think they started out in the middle of the creek but that's where they ended up. I took this picture while exiting Kellogg onto Maize Road. I just wonder at what point did they think about moving their tractors to higher ground or did they leave them on the little mound of dirt on purpose just in case it rained.

Another Flood?

Flood waters forced the evacuation of the daycare the boys go to. This is part of the parking lot and playground.

Maize road was closed but that didn't stop some people. I wasn't too worried at first but when I saw water rushing through the parking lot of the business next door, I was ready to go.

The Cowskin creek passes behind the daycare and then across Maize Road.

This is the Cowskin at 8:10 AM this morning at Kellogg. I would have taken more pictures but I was trying to drive.

Thanks to Grandpa for calling me and letting me know that the flood waters were coming.

Cowskin creek

Last night we followed the cowskin creek. Here are a few pictures taken September 12 between 6:30 and 7:30 PM. Depending on who you talk to we recieved between 8 and 11 inches of rain in 12 hours.

It's raining

It has rained quite a bit lately. It has rained so much today that I couldn't get to the preschool much less work. I am at home today. A lot of the roads are flooded here in west Wichita.
