We are waiting for the water to recede


Yes, we have waterfront property this week. While the folks downstream from us have already seen flooding, we are directly south of the Double Ditch ice jam. It's huge, but the water continues to roll by our house. The main channel appears to have been redirected from the east bank to ours. Neighbors upstream from us have been sandbagging all day.
Here are some photos. They are right off the bank by the big cottonwood tree and up the river. I took a snowshoe being very careful to stay away from the edge of the river incase the snow bank was hiding nothing but river. God willing the creek won't rise....
