When the flood hit I saw the water at my house and I saw my fields and I went swimming in a large field.

It all started on Wednesday night. The water started rising and did not stop until it reached twenty nine feet. I was at my aunts and my house was a foot from getting flooded. I have a club and it was underwater. There was a big ditch with a tree. I could not reach and I am five foot two and it is six foot three and the water was at it. I think that’s what saved us because it filled up first.

My experiences of the flood were that it was cool but scary. We stayed home because it didn’t get high enough to touch our house. We looked outside and our neighbor’s house had about two feet of water in his house. The thing that was funny was that my dog Duke went swimming in our back yard. The water was 12 feet in our back yard. Our push lawn mower was almost gone so we moved it and our bikes were under water so my dad went out to move the bikes.

During the flood I got woken up at 4:00 am with my mom telling to move onto the couch because my Grandma was coming over because her house was flooded. So I just stayed up and two hours later she finally showed up and I got stuck in a room with a really loud dog. Then two Chihuahuas showed up and they’re really annoying. Then we went to the store to get candy. We also visited the bank which was flooded half way up the doors. Then we went back home and I played my Play-station 3, fell asleep a couple hours later.  Like three days later they left.

When the flood happened my family played games. We played Twister, Rock-Paper-Scissors, Tic-Tac-Toe, Go Fish, and Hang Man.

During the flood of 2012 in my basement there was some water. It was in our garage. At the track there was a mud slide and the barn was flooded inside too.

During the flood of 2012 we helped evacuate someone’s house. They had a flood. Some water went over Backstreet Road. We watched the flood then we went back home.
