There's supposed to be a field on the left!
A barge sits along the Ohio River, waiting for the locks and dam to reopen. To the left of the treeline is a large field. Fish were jumping all over. It should begin to resemble a field again in a few days.
Our rivers are still swollen today. I ended up being late for work because the road I take was underwater. I had to make a long detour just to find dry ground, and I'd call it barely dry. Another few inches and the water would cover those roads as well!
I had problems with a memory shortage on my Phantom 4 today. I'll try and get some better shots tomorrow.
Floodwaters creep towards homes in Cannelton, Indiana USA. They lucked out this time. Other spots weren't so fortunate.
The water here is usually hundreds of yards away from these homes. Other parts of my county are submerged completely. Luckily there's been no water rescues or fatalities caused by the flooding, but a young mother unfortunately lost her life on the interstate because of the heavy rainfall. She lost control of her car and it flipped 7 or 8 times, ultimately throwing her from the car and into a field. Her 11 year old son survived. Please wear your seatbelts at all times while driving. Your chances of survival in a crash are much better that way.

We don't get floods of this magnitude very often. The last major flood was in 1997. I can remember the flood wall leaking at one spot, threatening to submerge a large section of town. They used sandbags to prevent it from happening. This time around seems to be a bit more dry on the city side of the flood wall.
I will update again tomorrow evening! Stay safe everyone :)
