WOW. Crazy weekend! The flooding continued and I was actually in Oxford, NE for Memorial Day. The Republican River there flooded over its banks and totally waterlogged fields and roads--in some cases eroding the road completely. The park and baseball field were entirely underwater. Saturday I took some shots of the town's residents swimming and even canoeing in the deep park water. I was driving around town and went down a road by the river where I found a group of people gathered around a big Tractor blocking the road. An emu farm had flooded and an emu got out and found itself stranded on a flooded gravel road, fighting the current of the rushing field water. It definitely made for an interesting picture!
