I live on what used to be the Catawba River.
A power company has built dams to form a series of lakes.
The water at my location still moves like a river and has not changed much in hundreds of years.
I can tell where the original river ran by how the water moves.
We are experiencing flooding right now.
The lake above us is over full. Water has risen and pulled out debris from its shores.
This debris is coming over the dam at the present time.
I have been sitting in my chair at the windows watching the water move.
I am in awe of its power to move heavy things.
Its flow is fast. Things are being propelled like a fast moving parade.
I love water. I respect it, but I do not fear it.
I will be here most of the morning.
Watching nature’s power.

I have a lot of respect for water… it is a powerful force. Is that boathouse moored or has it come loose?

The boathause with boat was loose and pulled to a marina by the pontoon boat.

I also live near a river with a dammed lake to provide drinking water. During Hurricane Harvey, the lake went over its banks and flooded our community including the across the street neighbors’ backyards. It looks like you are high above the lake. I hope you and your community will stay safe.

We are safe. I am sure there will be damage shown on the local news tonight.

Not so splendid this morning. Brown water up over the seawalls. Full pond. At least the rain has stopped.
