Rain and flooding

You are about to witness a typical spring day in Noble County

in

southeastern Ohio.

It rained continually today after a night of sporadic rain.

Our school is built in a low-lying area that floods easily

because of a large and significant creek that runs through our section of the county.

They should have dismissed early, but didn't---it was supposed to stop.

Our buses had to go through water to get to the elementary and middle schools.

The above is a picture of part of our playing fields (football, track, and baseball, softball).

It's taken from my car obviously.

I decided that since I would not 'melt' I should get out and take pics

minus the raindrops on my car window.

The above picture is of part of the football field. 

The church in the background in on the same lane

that leads to our elementary/middle school building.

This one came out with an odd shade to it, but it's a zoon in on the e/ms building.

No softball or baseball games or practices! 

There is a section of Seneca Lake that is closed off from the main part.

Several farms surround this area.

  A road to the right of this small section,

which leads to the farms, floods easily.

A swamp area at the end of the enclosed section of lake.

This swamp leads into a woods that leads to the pasture where the cabin is

that I've featured before. 

For those of you who remember my photos of the cabin I pass every day,

this is the bend near it. 

The swamp/wooded area is to the right of the road and  before the bend.

I worry about getting to this spot before it's covered.

I can turn around and go home in the mornings,

but in the evenings,

this IS my way home.

This is a tpical field I pass every day.

I passed many spots like this one on my home tonight.

With my side mirror in the pic, you can see that the road is level with the field.

As for tomorrow, a lot of us are hoping for a two-hour delay at the very least.

I could use the entire day off.

Thanks for the prayers.  Today was better.

Blessings to you all.
