We are just living in the RAIN belt, I guess, and it just keeps coming, but this past Friday evening, July 7, we got about 4 inches in 2 hours, and about 5 miles south of us, they got 8 inches in that time frame. So, when I had to go to work on Saturday morning, I was in for a shocker. There was a stretch of road, where the water was gushing over it, running about 4 inches deep, and I had to drive through it. Maybe less than 1/8 mile, but it was long enough. By this evening, Sunday, the gushing over the road is gone, and so when I came over the area, I had to stop and take pictures of the damage that was done to the road. The south bound lane is now closed because of the damage. Very scary.

This is part of the edge of the road that was washed out.

This is the water that is now gushing through the culvert. This will probably gush through here for a week or so.
