It's almost spring, and once again the Mighty Ohio is out of it's banks and creeping towards our house.

Flood stage is 52 feet and she's about 54 right now. Highest I've ever seen it here was in 1997 when it crested at 57.5 feet. The water was half way up our bottom basement step before it finally started going down. This one's supposed to crest around 56.5.

During the Great Flood of 1937 she crested at 69.5 feet!

It's supposed to crest Saturday at 2 to 3 feet higher than it is right now.

Think I'll move the John Deere up here where I park my truck when I get home tonight.

Just in case.

Really don't want to be standing on the deck, watching her float downriver.

Nope. Wouldn't like that at all!

Keep yer powder dry, peeps!

*Update*

It's Saturday and the river seems to have crested and is ever so slowly going back down.

Not looking forward to cleaning up the mess that's going to be left behind.
