The Power of Water

[woodyz]

I lived on the Brazos River in the 80's not in Houston but near Waco at Glen Rose. There was a park there called big rocks with these gigantic rocks in the river bed, some as big as a house. The first picture shows the park.

You could throw a rock from our house into the river bed, but it was down a twenty foot bank. The other side of the river was even with the land and was cattle pasture.

One day the river started coming up and before it was done it was on the road just lapping at our mail box. Which meant the cow pastures on the other side were under 20 of water as far as you could see.

But the power of the water was that when it finally went down all of those gigantic rocks were gone and I never did find out what happened to them.
The second picture is the same park after.

Stay out of the flood water if you can it has tremendous power.

that is something else,about them boulders n all..there's a pretty good creek that runs through the property i live on.(rent house).and there's normally not that much water flowing through it,any given time of the year.. in which there was a pretty good size tree stump at one part of it.and it was well over 500 feet upstream from the property line..we got so much rain one time.the water flowing through the creek washed away the stump.and i aint seen it since.and thats way above normal for that creek..
