So for those who dont know Arkansas has outdone itself and has received more rain this year than ever recorded. As one can imagine this means there has been flooding all year long. Crops have rotted and it has seem that the rain would not stop for weeks. Nature had a last kick and we spent much of christmas break trying to go around the flooded spots. Main roads and Highways have at times been closed.On our way to Christmas we got stopped at jacksonville which is so flooded areas are evacuated, the interstate is closed and rerouted. The sad part is that the rerouted part is in water that is a couple feet. I was kinda scary trying to get through moving water that deep or deeper in spots. I felt bad for the homes and cars we drove by on christmas that flood waters had enveloped. The water was so bad in some spots that cars and levels of homes where under. We have some good pictures and I will post them as soon as I get ahold of Johns phone.
