The flood and recovery

Memorial Day 2015 will be long remembered in Central Texas and here at Healing with Horses Ranch.

After weeks of daily rains and very usual creek flooding, we experienced an "epic" flood.  Manor only received about an inch of rain,  but just north of us received 5 inches of rain.  We were certainly going to flood, but our barn is a foot above the 100 year flood plain.  We would be safe.  

At 5pm, the creek started to go over it's banks.  Pretty normal.  By 5:45 the creek flooding was at its normal heavy flood stage.  By 6:45, the arena was under water.  A sight I have never seen or never expected to see....
