Three feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Three feet high and risin'
Well, the hives are gone,I've lost my bees
The chickens are sleepin'In the willow trees
Cow's in water up past her knees,
Three feet high and risin'
The water is now moving quickly - it's quite possible one of the levees has a breach. Water is rushing into Grandma's basement. The house is totally surrounded. They have seen a lot of deer running by trying to escape the water. It's moving so quickly that you can clearly see it advance.
Click on the map below - in the lower left hand corner where the "A" is, that's Annada and Busch Heirs. And of course you can see the Mississippi River flowing along the whole right hand side of the picture. This give you an idea of how far the water has moved in two days. And keep in mind that it's not a thin sheet of water - it will go far past Annada and it will be about five feet deep in Annada. Right now it's about six inches deep around the house. There are fish flopping around all over the place!
Mom's trying to get as much video as she can - I'll try to post some video clips later.
