Saylorville Lake Overcast 90 Degrees
The heat is returning and the water is rising. We get to spend the next couple of days with our grand-daughter Nora. She is also 3 ½ but decidedly more subdued in nature than her cousin Isaac who is the same age. It is a very different experience having her stay with us. Still exhausting, because we’re getting old, but not as physical.
I thought it would be cool to show you some pictures of the rising waters behind volunteer village. On the last picture, our campers are about 100' behind where I am facing the flood waters. A small stand of timber separates us from the lake. It is really awe inspiring and a stark reminder that the natural world is firmly in control of its own destiny. We sometimes have to stay out of its way. They did say the “E” word out loud today. They are pretty confident that the water will get close but not in the village but they want us to be alert none-the-less. Evacuation is a real possibility if rain predictions are off or if Des Moines flooding increases and they are forced to slow down outflow from the reservoir.
I’ll let the pictures and the captions do my talking today.
