Kingfisher, Oklahoma

Hello to everyone---
Curtis and I had some free time this afternoon and decided to drive to Kingfisher and check out all the flooding damages to the town. Know matter how much you see on TV and in pictures it just doesn't do it justice when you see it for real. My heart goes out to anyone that has destruction to their property. Even though this is what we do now, it made me feel like we were some kind of reporters trying to check everything out. The one thing that was noticeable, neighbors helping neighbors in the residential areas. A real sick feeling when you see someone actually having the water hose in their house and literally spraying the floors to get the mud out of the house. One lady had ripped up all of their sub flooring had it leaned against the fence outside and spraying it off to put it back in. I wasn't able to get a picture of this, but it gives the realistic feeling to what a flood would be like. We spoke with the lady that lived in the white house (picture shown with carpeting draped over porch) and she told me that their house didn't get it to bad, they just had 2 inches all the way thru their home. The brick home shown in the picture with the furniture out front had 11 inches in it. The man told us that everything was gone---- The main street looked as if nothing had ever happened, even though the river ran right thru town.
Well, hope to have more later---Until then
Curtis and Lavon
