Can you say Flood?

So here's some scoop on Box Elder, the little town that is next to Ellsworth AFB- parts are flooded and some folks that live in the low lying areas had to be evacuated yesterday due to the quickly rising water. The Box Elder Creek is now a rushing river and it's washing over the road that goes into the Prairie View Estates subdivision (yet another reason not to buy in Prairie View) and the mobile home park that is off of Cotton Wood Drive. Another low lying area being flooded is the mobile home park off of Frontage Road in Box Elder- I heard a first hand report that the creek waters are very high and are much like a rushing river through that area. People should exert extreme caution when flood waters are rising. Driving on roads that are being washed over by water- just don't do it! You can never know how fast that water is moving and how quickly it can take a vehicle downstream-with ALL of it's occupants! This is no exception!
