PROJECT DAD 2- THE FLOODING

Northern Indiana is in the middle of a flood.  Here are some photos taken of our area.  (all taken within a couple miles of my home)

This is on Range Rd just alittle past Dad’s house….

The bridge at Range Rd (Robbins Ditch)  Pete and John from the Highway Dept came out to check out dad’s situation and to see how other’s were doing.

The following shot was taken from the corn dryer at Jon’s house it is looking towards the South at the Robbins Ditch.  All the water you see is a field.

Taken at the Robbin’s ditch behind Ed Blair’s property. As you can see the water has broke over the bank.

View from the bank of the ditch looking towards Jon’s house.  It felt so strange like I was near a lake not in the middle of a field.  Special thanks to Randy Johnson for grabbing Ed’s Gator and taking me back there, I appreciate it.

I have so many other photos, if requested I may share more.  Also depending on the situation I may be out shooting again today.  Hopefully things have improved overnight.  The sun will be up soon and we will all know.  Good luck everyone and please be very careful driving, even if there wasn’t water on a road yesterday you never know if something broke out and it is covered today.
