The heavy constant rain of the past few weeks has raised the river greatly. Driving to North Judson yesterday we saw many fields flooded with farmers crops sitting soggy surrounded by water. One field we frequently pass looked like a big lake. It is heartbreaking to see the time and money of planting wasted.
Looking out my bedroom window from my bed made it feel like I was floating on a houseboat. The house is this close to the river because it is the only place we had clearance to build. I think this is the highest we have seen the river since we bought the farm in 2008. It has already started going down quite a lot, so I can't imagine how high it was when it crested.
