Panoramic view a mile from our house, looking west, standing on top of the Little Tarkio Creek levee. The view is the same on the other side of the highway, there's just some trees blocking the view.

Looking back east you can see the levee that is protecting us, and our elevator on the other side. Our elevator is actually about 3/4 of a mile from the levee, even though it looks like it is sitting JUST on the other side of it.
This (in the circle) is a FISH....ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. You just don't see that everyday, now do ya. Ok, well we do, but not most people....
This is the highway under water. I believe the actual highway is starting to wash away in the circle. And we're in for another 6 weeks of this.
The debris along the side of the highway is really starting to pile up. Mostly corn stalks and other plant life...well, it was life....but also some "fun" stuff like lawn chairs, pieces of docks, propane tanks, and tires. My favorite so far, a can of WD-40...see I told you that stuff is useful!
A neighbor's house--these neighbors are in their 90's and are living at a truck stop hotel. Just saw them last night and they said the water was touching the bottoms of the main floor beams, but had not ruined the floor yet.
We've also been getting a lot of comments like, "The river's going down, isn't it?" Well, yes, but if you look at the front corner of this guy's house, you can see the water has went down about 6 inches. And do you think that has made this guy any bit of difference at this point? So yes, although the river has went down a little, we haven't seen the impact of that much at all.
And it looks like the river level has kinda leveled off.
I'd love to see this graph heading downwards, but hey, I'll take a flat-liner any day at this point.
