Here are some pictures of the flood that we have had for almost the whole month of June.


Here is the Holliday Inn on US HWY 287/I-44


Here is a Holliday Inn company van in the back of the parking lot, towards the Wichita River.


According to the sign off of US HWY 287/I-44, you can buy 15 acres of, water. :shock: :P That is actually an open area for sale, north of the Holliday Inn.


Here is the parking lot behind the Texas Tourist Center that is about a quarter mile north of Holliday Inn.


This is the main gate going into Lucy Park. It is just west of US HWY 287/I-44. The Wichita River is about a mile beyond those trees.


Here are a couple of shots from the Red River on I-44. Wonder how long it's been since there has been that much water. :P (normally, it's almost dry)

It's pretty bad. Ya know, I have seen this type of flooding on TV. Like, down south, near the gulf, and other parts of the country. I never could imagine it ever happening here, but it is here. It's crazy.

What's funny, I bet, in 2 months, we will have a drought. When everyone gets ready to work the ground to start sowing wheat in a couple of months, it will be bone dry. :P

Who knows. This summer may not be a 110 degree summer, but I bet it does before the fall.

just imagine when the rain stops and the water collects in low areas and watch the mosquitoes come out with vengeance.

wow-Reminds me of when I trucked through St. Louis years ago when they had massive flooding.

You're getting all the rain and we're getting none this year.

The city here is having quite a time trying to keep up with them. And the flood water here is full of nasty crap now...so they really don't want them carrying disease to the whole town.
