    Blame it on the rain

    It only takes one night of rain to knock an entire neighborhood's fences down. This is what happens when people knowingly build structure in a flood plain.

    Here's the entrance to my yard. This section of fence is completely missing.



    ...and here's the exit. The chain link fence didn't escape the destruction, either.

    And that's why you don't build in a known flood plain. I bought the house with the fence, but it looks like I'll be selling it some day without it.

    You probably could have taken a ride on my fence as it went downstream.

    Man, that's just nuts. I don't know if I'd even bother rebuilding the fence if you get rain like that often...

    That fence is Jericho. It's coming down.

    EDIT: Maybe today even. I'm all dressed up and nowhere to go. All the routes I know to work are flooded. People are driving around like ants looking for a way to their destination. I went back home and called my supervisor to see if he found a way to work. He didn't even try. Jacksonville, Arkansas is an island without a bridge. My backyard is clear, though.
