Default Flood waters

The next two months were really interesting. I was starting to question my sanity for getting into this project. It there is an artesian well that fills up after just ½ inch of rain, that means there is a LOT of ground water. Pouring concrete over swampy land is a disaster waiting to happen. It gets worse. May was one of the wettest months in Guthrie history. Fortunately, our building was just above the area that flooded. We are just East of the RR tracks, close to the train depot. The depot and our building were safe. Everything West of the tracks flooded. Some buildings had 4 feet of water.

My warehouse is less than 100 feet from the RR tracks. These pics were taken from just the other side of the RR tracks, so about 125 feet from our warehouse.
