Wow! The flooding we got here in my home town on Monday night was far worse than anything we ever had before. Highway 14 is still closed. I take Highway 14 to work, but it will be some time before I do that again. I’m looking at a couple different detours, but so far sticking with County KP. The highway suffered major damage like it has never had before in any other floods. A few miles from my place, a small bridge was washed out. No telling how long before that gets fixed. Further down the highway, water was running under the highway from a pond that overflowed its banks. Officials were worried about the road collapsing. Not a far-fetched idea, since further down the highway, it did just that. Darn, I wish we could post pictures here! All other roads I might choose to take to work are open now (one side road is still closed though). But I count myself so lucky that I had that night off (still on vacation) because listening to the list of roads that were closed, it looks as if every single road I could have taken to try to get home was closed because of high water.
