Water in Velva was still rising early Thursday morning.
By Thursday evening the water had finally begun to drop after 2 days of rising water.
The dike will be continue to be walked by volunteers until the river drops nearly another foot.
The Fiest`s ranch has continued to see water flowing through their land at a rate they have never seen before.
Their cattle are safe on higher ground, but the house has seen some flooding.
Their basement has 4 pumps to drain the water.
Sandbags that were filled and placed by local school students have saved the foundation of their home from any water.
Despite the drop, the Fiest`s plan to keep their sandbags up at least another week. |
