We had a lot of rain here in February.
A slide covered one lane of Clifty Creek road, again.
There have been several small slides next to Riggs Chapel road.
We went to town on a saturday and had lunch, a family came in and sat at the table next to us, we overheard them say that they watched as their cows swam over the fence and out of the pasture, and then a little later they saw the cows swim back into the pasture. Not exactly something you hear every day ...
When we drove down the driveway to head to town, there was a channel 10 news crew at the bottom of our driveway getting footage of the creek that goes around our farm, the creek was was really roaring. There were also several of our kayaker friends there, they were waiting to see if the creek would settle down a bit, they wanted to do some plateau micro creeking down to the Emory river, I don't think that anyone actually got in the creek that day, although we did see kayakers in the Emory at the bottom of the cliff.
Good news is that the drainage improvements I made on the driveway actually worked very well, I just have one small washout near the bottom of the driveway where the ditch filled up with debris.
The area is still recovering from all of the rain and cold temperatures.
The bridge over clifty creek was underwater last weekend when the Emory river hit flood stage, I think it was over 28 feet, Riggs Chapel road was also underwater at the low point near the railroad bridge.
