As you can see, the yard is totally under water! And the river is moving right along --in the yard!The video shows my brother, Tom, up to his waist in the water ( in waders) with a rake, pushing limbs and other debris back out into the current so when the water recedes the cleanup won't be so bad. They usually end up with alot of sand. It washes away plants, bushes and sometimes a tree or 2!

Wow! That's a LOT of water!! Scary.
Do they get this every year? Pain in the butt if they do. I sure hope he knows for certain where his yard ends and the river's edge is!
Wayne--not every year. Really depends on how much snow they get up north--probably will happen this year. And even if it happens, it's not usually as bad as these pictures--this is th extreme! And there are a line of trees along the river bank so it's fairly easy to tell where the line is!
WOW. That's a lot of water. I've had my house flooded before and it's not a fun job to clean up. I'm sure it wrecked the yard too.
