Flood of 2008

So I thought I'd share a few pictures of how things looked the past couple of days around here. (the water is now gone. God's power is awesome!!)

This was the view from our front porch.

My next door neighbors backyard. Suddenly we lived on an island.

The corner of my street. The ducks are happy with the extended Fox River I think....lol.

And this is how deep the water on my street was.

And this is the only water that got in our basement. It's really unbelieveable because I have heard stories of other people who live down here and have 2 to 3 feet of standing water in their basements. It is truly a blessing.
