I am at home, on generator. 5th day without power. I have to ration electric load and time, so I can't stay on computer much.
As far as I know, only lost 4, and all those may not be 'gone'. I have 2 in my pasture that aren't mine, so mine may be in a pasture downstream somewhere.

The place is a sure 'enuf mess, telephone poles & crossties on top of fences, as well as logs, barrels, tires, and probably 100 5 gal buckets I have no idea where came from.

I will lose most of the equipment in my shop even tho I put everything up on the highest shelves and workbenches. Water just came up too high.
It was surreal to open that shop door the morning we paddled out of here and see the water level inside the same as it was outside..waist deep.

Water did not get in the house, but came up to the 3rd or 4th of 7 steps.

Had a sigh of relief when I saw it was you. Good to here you didn't loose many cows and your house is okay. Hopefully it will dry up soon and you can get to cleaning the mess.

So glad to hear that you and yours are safe. Hope you find your cattle safe and sound.

Very glad you are safe, taking off in a boat sounded like a Huck Finn adventure and I'm glad you made it ok. Hope that your cattle is just visiting and on a walk about. Are they branded? Hard to loose equipment, I know that you had a lot of tools of the trade...I hope that they can be replaced in short order.

fantastic about the house, about the cows and the shop tools...maybe some will dry out OK?

I have had a drill left out in pouring rain.... and it dried out and still works...not the same though I know...just hoping.

It sure is Good to hear from ya and that you and your wife are fine....glad your house was spared and things there are not a total loss. Hope ya can track down the missing 4, but had to be relieved to find the others still at home. Ya sure had me concerned for ya and bout wore out the knee pads. I know things there will keep ya busy, but knowing ya are safe will make the wait for your full return possible....
