Some of you may remember my post at this time last year about the flooding we had and my allmost losing a V-cam.

I should of paid attention and learned from that experience. But in my endless quest for great photos, I put the camera in the same location last weekend.
The water level was very low and flooding like last year was the last concern I had. I was wrong......VERY WRONG
We had a storm blow through Tuesday evening and it dumped a bunch of rain. Allthough the field didn't flood as last year, the water level had risen quite a bit. I knew I was in trouble when I grabed the camera and it felt heavier than normal. That would be because it was full of water.
Anyway, one old X-10 board down the tubes. The water hadn't reached the camera and it is operating ok. I should be able to put in a new board and be rolling again.
When I placed the camera here, the water was a foot out in front of it. It looks like the water had been higher before I got here.
