sister just posted a video to her instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CRUiCQcpa6S/ of a flash flood currently happening at the farm

reference: that same view of the granary and the culvert-bridge past it on a sunny day some weeks ago:

[image description: a gravel driveway in the foreground, a gray-painted barn to the right, some upright grain bins to the left. note that none of them are underwater. that is because under the narrow bit of driveway is a very small creek that is mostly a trickle this time of year, and goes through a little culvert right there.]

anyway just out of frame in the above photo, to the right of the truck, are about oh eight thousand dollars of building supplies, carefully stowed under tarps, that i’ve accumulated for the tiny house that we were supposed to start building this coming weekend, provided i could get the eight 2x8x16s I needed to start the construction process.

I’m imagining those aren’t there anymore, so the saga of the tiny house gets to be over before it begins, because I absolutely can’t afford to replace that shit.

anyway. i don’t know anything, sister stopped updating about 45 minutes ago after saying the water was almost over the circuit breaker in her basement, so i am not going to get any updates for a while i think.

i’m concerned for the chick brooders that were housed in trailers over by the river. i’m worried about the baby turkeys who likely will take a lot of lossage if the power’s out to their heat lamps. i’m worried for the staff; it was still during the workday, so likely people were still in the midst of working. i know the picking garden is underwater and it’s doubtful much can be salvaged. you can’t eat anything flood waters have touched. i don’t know if the water’s high enough to have ruined the fridges and freezers in that barn, or the freezers in the other barn.

anyway it’s all bad, and i’m sick with worry, and i just don’t know. (Your picture was not posted)
