Flooding in Nebraska, M. Bush you Ok?

[van from Arkansas]

I started to send a private message, however M. Bush is one we ALL appreciate and have benefited from his advice so in this case, I thought it appropriate to send as a New Topic.  Jim, do not hesitate to move this thread if you deem so.

So Mr. Bush, please let us know you are afloat, no water damage to family or hives.
Blessings
Van

I was wondering the same?

Michael took a video of his creek flooding on his creek. It was at 26 feet above normal on Thursday when he left. It is normally 5 feet wide and in the picture it was, I think, 65 feet wide and at the top of the bank. He was able to watch a flood chart of it while he was here and it was going down. There is a bridge crossing it on one side of his property and it was just a foot or so below it.
Maybe Michael can post that video and a video showing what it looks like when the flooding subsides.

Just flooded around the edge of the pasture.  Some were not so lucky.

Michael,
When the water recedes to normal levels would you please post pictures of what it looks like.

That creek looks more like a lake.  Glad to here Bush and animals faired well.  Sympathy to those who were on lower ground.

Good news, Michael

The creek was at 27 feet. It's now down to 9 feet. Here are some videos and pictures of the creek at 27 feet and I now have added pictures and a video of it at 9 feet:

What a difference, I see a real creek, no more a lake, and the bridge has a bottom to it. Lol

Michael, glad you're ok.
Here in N.C. 9' we call that a river in La. they call it a bayou

Usually, except right after a rain, the creek is about 4 to 5 feet.  But 9 feet is common after a rain.  Back in Western Nebraska, the Platte river is typically not deep enough to canoe in...  "A mile wide and an inch deep, too thin to plow, too thick to drink"  This is often attributed to about three different western rivers, and the North Platte is one of them as is the South Platte and the Powder.  It's probably been stolen by others I don't  know of as well.

A mile wide and 1" deep and 9' after rain WOW. Is there any gold in them there hills
