January Flood

We got 2-3" of rain last night. Probably most of it around 2am. It was so loud it woke me up. Schools were closed today because several roads were closed this morning due to high water. I shot just a few pics. The water had gone down quite a bit before I ventured out.
Jordan Creek Ball Park. I estimate these fields were under about 2 feet of running water.
