The weeds that were
completely submerged are not four feet tall, as I had guessed. They are taller than I am and probably not less than six feet tall. That floodwater was really deep to completely cover them. To the right, you can see where flowing water leveled weeds that were not quite so rigid, and they still haven't straightened up.
I was at the bottom of the hillside taking these photos today, and that's my apartment building at the top. Those two satellite dishes were in some of my earlier photos,
here and
here. That smaller bush in the center hides the side window of my bedroom.
The surprise left behind by the floodwaters were dozens of yellow dandelions on the hillside, like this one. The ground still feels mushy, and I didn't venture beyond the tall-weed border.

It's amazing that the grass and plants survived at all!
Wow, it really was amazingly deep!
dandelions just never go away.
Wow. Scary stuff. Glad you were in a high place. Here's My Saturday Snapshot
WOW that must have been some flooding. Glad your place was high on a hill.
Wow, that is incredible!
That's an extraordinary set of photos. I hadn't seen your flooded ones- great to see the recovery.
