From LL: Prairie Creek rose about 6 or 7 feet and was out of it's banks about 30 or so yards onto our property. The pictures above are mostly on our property. The picture with the truck is a neighbor's across the creek. This was on a Sunday and the following day the children went to see how the water was and they said it was back within it's banks but still high. We crossed the Illinois River a couple days ago and it was still very high.

It never ceases to amaze how a hurricane so far away can have such an impact on us! I can only imagine what the Texans were going through.
