HOrnbrod Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 The boat is underwater, only thing visible is the top of the bench backrest rail on the pier. Still raining like a beeatch. About 6" more and water will be over the bridge getting into here. Going to be a long night.......... BUT, we do still have power and plenty of cold Miller HL. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've winched the old 60's vintage Alumacraft up as far as it will go on the underwater shoreline, and it's secured so it's not going anywhere. So much for the integrity of the vintage underseat floatation tanks. Good to know for future use. :eek: The house is 20' above the lake, so we be good to go. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackjeeper Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 just giving you a hard time. We had flooding like this back home a few years ago, foothills of NC. When the River makes it to the top of its 9' banks it is getting to be a bad day, when it makes it the next 7 ft to the bridge, things started getting interesting. Luckily we were in your situation and live a solid 150' above the lowest point around (pond in the middle of a small valley). Dad always laughed pretty hard when the door to door insurance salesmen would come around trying to get him to buy flood insurance. When you insured/bought your house did they happen to tell you what flood plain your area was in? 20yr, 50yr, 100yr? I asked cause someone in my neighborhood found out that the above mentioned rains brought the level up to the 100yr plain and his NEW house...
