Default Henderson County,IL Flood Pics

So I went to my grandparents house for the fourth and while I was there I took some pictures of the area that was flooded. I also stole a bunch of pictures from the conservation agents from right after the flood started. I thought you all might like to see what 40 billion gallons of water looks like.

One of the worst parts about the whole deal is that my uncle's and cousin's duramax trucks, along with a bunch of other random trucks, are stuck out on a levee. They were helping to sandbag and the levee gave way behind them. It flooded so fast they couldnt drive the trucks out. they all had to walk out. But the last time the conservation agents checked the trucks were still on dry ground.
