Two rivers converge just east of Thomasville. The above is looking at the Middle Fork downstream on Friday and Saturday. Same view; different water level. The Middle Fork is the one that sometimes crosses the road at the slab. Due to a drought since Masy, there has not even been enough water to get wet in at the slab. But after five and a half inches of rain in a couple days it was a different matter. Below is looking upstream from the bridge from one day to the next.
The flooding on the Eleven Point River was not as dramatic. It got higher and muddy, but didn't overflow the banks. Eleven years ago it did, as you can see in this video I made. I wasn't around for the one that wiped out my house a few years ago. Anyway, this is what the Eleven Point looked like on Friday and Saturday.
Old Carl, who used to own the house downstream on the left, had to be rescued from the second floor by boat in the big one four? years ago. And yesterday, the slab had a bit of water running over it, but not so much that I couldn't get through.
