I'll get my blocks out once I can get out. We didn't get mail yesterday and won't today either. Can't get tot he PO office.
I was suppose to attend a Floriani class today and tomorrow. Drove around for 45 min and can't find an open road out of the area. The bridge right to the north of us is still holding, but the water is rising there and is starting to come over the road. Once it flows over the road, it might take the bridge out. That one is a larger creek. The one to the south, the water is going down but not enough yet to see if the road is still there. That one is drainage and is only fed from the local area. the nest road to the west, water is down but there is a cut in the road so not passible. Another mile west and the abutments are out. Can't go any farther west as the James River is there. We have no roads going east from our property between the two bridges.
We did cross the north bridge to the paved road- went east and the main bridge over the creek (same one we just crossed) was fine, but a bit farhter there is a culvert under the road and that had a barricade and you could tell the road was sunk there, so it's probably washed the dirt out from under the pavement. Won't be passible until fixed.
We alreayd know that none of the dirt roads north of that will get out so we didn't try any.
That paved road to the west crosses the James River. I checked this AM and the river was 2" below record crest, so that would put that road way under water. At least that one does flood in the spring and normally had no damage once the water recedes. It does not flood where the river flows under the bridge, just the valley up to the bridge.
We are hoping when the water to the south goes down, the road will still be there, then we'll be able to get out. If it is damages, then we'll hope the bridge to the north holds (they rebuilt it a few years ago) and once the James goes down, we can get out that way. Otherwise we won't get out until the roads are fixed.
At least we have plenty of food, water and electricity, and it's warm. Normally we get trapped for several days at a time due to snow fall.
I'll spend the day sewing!
