Usually, when the river comes up it rarely arrive to touch the barns (which were build there because the river won't get them under). This time not only the river touched the first row of barns but went over them and in the outer lands where houses are...

It was something umbeliable. All the men who had country there were enjoying the flood on the bridge and never tought to find the land this way in the morning. They didn't put animals and cars and tractors in a safe place just because barn were SUPPOSED to be the safest place.
