To show you how much water we've gotten I stole this picture from my friend on Facebook.
We have spent the past week trying to salvage as much stuff as we could from our place. The other day they were trying to salvage any equipment or tools we could from the barn. Most tools were gone. Once again we are very grateful for friends who came out to help us and didn't mind getting dirty. Some might disagree and think our place smells like dead fish right now but I think our place right now smells like crawfish...but just a little worse.
We will try to see if we can save our tractor.
With a little help we tried to load the tractor up onto the trailer.
All loaded up onto the trailer and taken to a friend's house to drain all the oil and fuel out of it in attempt to salvage it.
After we got done cleaning up the barn they also attempted to get the cows on a cattle trailer so we can relocate them because there was supposed to be more rain coming in our area and we were afraid of another flood threat.
But after multiple (I mean like they've been trying for 2 days) unsuccessful attempts and trucks getting stuck in the mud we finally decided to just leave the cows there. So far I think prayers have been answered the forecasted rain for this week isn't as bad as everyone originally thought so we don't think our place would flood again and it should be safe to leave the cows there.
They tried to put the cows in the trailer... It was unsuccessful.
