where do we go from here :-(

As I write this I am sitting at Rudee's parents home. We had a large amount of rain yesterday and last night. The campground we are staying at is bordered by a creek with a large levy between the creek and the campground. Early this morning the creek flooded and the levy broke causing a flash flood. We woke up and the water was rising fast. We were on the higher ground then the rows of RV's behind and beside us but could not move the rig or our Dakota due to the flooding around us. The campground called 911 and the local Fire Dept. brought in a large pay loader to rescue us late this morning. The water by that time had risen to the middle of the wheel hubs on our motor home and was continueing to rise at about 1'  every hour. We tried to drive out with the Dakota but quickly found the water was too deep between us and the highway. I walked in front of the truck while Rudee drove and when the water reached my thighs I abandoned that idea and we backed up back to our site.

Once our rescue crew arrived we were loaded into the bucket and driven to the next occupied trailer and we rescued another couple and their two dogs. The water was up to the floor of their trailer and over the hood of their car. :-o

Here are some additional photos:

The Harley is parked inside our cargo trailer which is parked in the over flow parking and mostly flooded. There was a cargo trailer parked next to ours which was apparently empty because we saw it floating across the campground.
We are safe, dry and grateful to the brave men who came to our rescue. I'm not sure what we will find when we return to our home, we are praying that the water will crest before it reaches the inside of the motor home. We'll see how it all goes once we can get back into the campground and can assess the damages. I'm still amazed at how fast the water came up, less than an hour from dry ground to "we're in trouble" :-o I'll keep you posted.
