Made a quick trip home to Kingfisher tonight to see the flood waters....(Pics!!)
And I brought back a few pictures. Wanna see? Check these out!

If you look beyond the trees, the creed usually runs about 40 feet below. This is insane.





The water usually runs about 60 feet below this bridge. This is really high. The picture is facing north. My mom lives a mile NE of this spot as the crow flies.


Tell me what you think!! I want to see comments, people!!
Love,
Duckie

6. Good pictures. Brown water is a very bad sign.
Can't tell where the creek should be but it's pretty clear it's not meant to be that big muddy.

7. It's always that muddy.
It's just up. It's usually under the bridge about 60 feet.

9. Good Pics Duckie!
Such familiar territory to me!

Without the water it would even seem "homey" to me, odd sometimes to me that Oklahoma holds that kind of place in my heart.


:hi:

12. It's not really that bad....
And even though it's a red state, it's tolerable. If you ever get screwed and lose everything, most people will help put you back on your feet again. OKlahomans are a generous folk.
