January Flooding

When Ten Mile Creek overflows it's banks the fields around my school look like this.This is the E Hemmi Road, just past my school. I often go home this way, but as you can see the road is closed due to flooding.
All the roads to our house have been closed because of the severe flooding. This is Hilldale Road. The water is running down Brownsville and crossing Hillsdale like a river. The road is closed, but they have set up lights so we can pass. It's the only way in and out at this time.


Amber works in the blue and white building. What looks like a river is usually a creek. If it comes up just a few more inches it will be flooding her work and that of others in the area. Fortunately for everyone the water has been going down the last few days.
