Rain Rain Go Away

Took this picture and video, click link below, of Sinking Creek in Afton this past Saturday afternoon -


This creek runs parallel to Ripley Island Road and is usually a slow running and winding stream. However, with all the heavy rains we been having, this creek came alive, and overflowed its banks and washed out and over the roads in several spots!

The Nolichucky river was roaring too and running super high -



This is an interesting pic below. It looks like the field of corn is now in the river, the water had risen so high -


Fortunately, it seems the water levels receded fairly quickly once the rains stop but it’s left behind quite a bit of damage once you get off the beaten path.
