Raining Cats And Dogs!

Last night the weather man said that we have had 19 straight days of rain. And I read a news report that stated all 77 counties in Oklahoma are under a state of emergency. It's totally crazy! So, today we went for a drive to take a look at the rising waters at Lake Texoma. The following pictures show some of the results of the crazy monsoon we've been experiencing. The first two pictures are of an area that we have actually visited with some friends of the ward to swim and sail the boat. As you can see the water is all the way up the road. I know it's hard to comprehend unless you've been there before but the entire beach, boat dock, and circle drive are under water!
 
The garbage is pretty gross too!
 
The next two pictures are from another area that we have visited a couple of times in the past. It's near a campground. If you look closely you can see the painted lines of the street under the water.
 
If you take a good look at this next picture you'll notice a street light in the middle of the water that's because under the water there is a parking lot! And just past the light is a fishing dock that we have actually WALK out onto before. The round metal things that you see to the right are bathrooms. :)
