Flooding in Arkansas

Maybe you have heard that Arkansas has had a bit of a flood. Living on a boat is great the water did not get in our house, but we did float up over 6 feet. The first picture is of our "taxi" to get to work Friday AM. We woke to the parking lot in knee deep water(we had already moved the cars to a hill) the Harbor Master took us to the cars via party barge at over 300,000 cubic feet per second, a little over 6 miles per hour current.
The second picture is from our dock looking at the parking lot. We have not lost electricity or water, and have not been afraid. The water is moving so fast it sounds like rain at night if you leave the door open. It has been an experience for us all, probably one of those reasons we moved to the water in the first place:-)
