[@pureheartshomestead1742]

Thanks Bret

[@eppiedoodle9423]

Thoughts and prayers for everyone affected. My husband and I are from Arkansas and have family and friends there. Thank you, Dan, for filming and documenting this. You all stay safe and take care.

[@garthlocklin6355]

Thanks again Dan for taking the time to keep us updated!

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

I will try to get some footage of the river after it receeds

[@onlyonecaca]

Great video. I'm from baton rouge, la & the weather was terrible today and is expected to be terrible tmrw too 😬

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

We are having a lot of rain too, how is The Mississippi River down there?

[@onlyonecaca]

@@pureheartshomestead1742 its high. They were supposed to open the morganza spillway but decided not too. River has been so HIGH! And the rain isn't stopping 😬 I hope you all are doing okay up there!!!

[@terrellshilo5263]

I'm from Opelousas LA and you are beautiful!

[@onlyonecaca]

@@terrellshilo5263 thank you

[@tammysarrazin7078]

please stay safe driving in flooded roads can be just as dangerous of overflown creeks hugssss from Ontario Canada

[@carolynjackson4698]

I like your videos. It has helped to really see the communities. I have not seen any focus on the homes on the rivers at wright ark near the lock and dam number 5. Earl Chadick rd in Wright is closed back there due to the floods.

[@raynall3593]

Lived in Little Rock for 60+ years and I have only seen it this bad once. Never seen those round barriers by the bridge piers go under. Seen Burns Park flood all the way out to I-40 over around I-430 where that big church is. There a park on top of the hill in Levy we used to go to where you can see way up the river, You had to park and walk down the path but we had a good view of Murray Dam, what was sticking out of the water, Power plant was totally under back then. I think this is the highest I have seen it since they built the locks and dams. I hope the Surgical Hospital weathered the flood, its there where you were driving nears Cooks Landing Park.

[@PopLightBrown]

Was that a levee you were standing on around the 10:00 mark?

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

Yes

[@PopLightBrown]

Wow...and it held.

[@MrPreacher8770]

thats exactly why you dont build in a flood plane

[@stephenhunter70]

And when you do, you build so that the ground floor bearers of the house is higher than the highest recorded flood level.

[@nlo114]

I live on the boundary of a flood-plain. The old maps say 'liable to flooding, not suitable for building', etc. The soil is very fertile because it was laid there by the river in flood, maybe 200, maybe 500 years ago. The water has filled my yard once in 40 years I've been there; a dozen times in the new development down the road. They were warned, they built, they got flooded. The insurance paid out, my premiums went up.

[@rosegeaber7533]

So, what was that about global warming?! Let's get wise folks.

[@hisservants8003]

People are finding out why our ancestors didn’t build in certain areas. This is going to happen a lot with the GSM and insurance is going to stop paying in some of these areas.

[@cherylwilliams81]

Thanks for the update! Be careful!💕

[@jhead1972]

Have you been to Scott where the houses are around the big oxbow lake..do you know if they are flooded

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

They are not under water

[@lottiefaith6935]

It's devastating for so many people, so much money lost and so much money will be made...God Bless.

[@antoniosantiago3844]

if so much money is going to be made ! Let's hope they get twice rain next year so there be twice the MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!! Do You Think Shit Got On Everything?

[@TheFootbaldd]

@ 1:16 you say the water depth is up to your doors, but you can tell where the curb height and fire hydrant are... Are you running a c-notched bagged suburban? No need to exaggerate, we get that it is bad, but those streets themselves look like Beaumont after an average rain. I lived in SE Texas for years including Rita, Ike, and Harvey.

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

DRDEE no I was not exaggerating, if you will notice the fire hydrant was up on the bank above the curb, and the curbs are well below the water. I have no need to exaggerate anything

[@TheFootbaldd]

That is maybe 12" of water, and stagnant.

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

Yes the water was stagnant.

[@djchancla2451]

Prayers to all affected by the flooding

[@ypcomchic]

What caused it to flood?? Was this from that huge storm couple days ago? Crazy

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

This was in late May and early June and it was caused by the excessive rain in May up river and Lake Keystone in Oklahoma released a lot of water that added to the already high water.

[@stevengonzalez27]

I can just imagine all the mosquitos and bugs in the near future......

[@gw8278]

so this area willow beach, are those homes built on the "wrong side" of a possible levee? If so, why would someone do that?

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

Yes they built on the wrong side of the levee, I hope they had flood insurance

[@tubedude54]

Never buy a home until you have checked out the FIRM maps and understand what you may be getting yourself into.

[@laalaag2auntyayag776]

This flood is a historic one- areas that have NEVER been flooded are under water. There was no way to know "What they were getting into" unless they were clairvoyant

[@tubedude54]

Never say 'never'! Just because there are no records of it doesn't mean it hasn't flooded in the past. And yes... you can go to the FEMA web page and get what are called 'firmettes' which show you flood hazard areas all over the United States... a SMART thing to do if you are buying a home or just property for future development! I guess FEMA and the USGS have a crystal ball after all!

[@CedarCreekHomestead]

We had that water up here. We are located on the Arkansas River near lock and dam 16, It has gone back to normal now. Thank the Lord!

[@rickymurphy9173]

I got pictures of Liberty Kentucky here probably about 3 or 4 months ago look the same way you couldn't tell they were feels for the river water

[@robcollins1118]

any info on the redfield area?

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

I don’t think they had much damage, but I am not sure

[@PapaPepper]

I was looking at some turtles sunning themselves on rooftops down by the river in Fort Smith the other day... let's hope it'll recede soon.

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

I hope so

[@lovelyy-babyy]

That water is from the Keystone Lake. I been across it. I seen the dam let the water out.

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

Yea someone commented that that is where most of it was coming from, thanks for watching

[@terrypbug]

Man i know all that water in Tulsa made it down there i knew it was going to be bad downstream to , that was crazy last 2 weeks of may

[@SouthernBlessedHomestead]

wow thats horrible, praying for all those affected by the floods. 😢😢

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

IKR there have been a lot of people affected

[@dannyelrod9607]

Maybe it will start going down my heart and prayers are with y'all

[@fredzag2452]

Notice there's flooding in many states, and to a degree that they are greater than past floods. Every time it rains here in p.a. it happens after the jets turn the skies milky white. They make it rain 2 days, than 4 days, then they lay off for a week, and have a mini rain, then come back next week and extend it for 2 weeks rain, than in a matter of time we're going to get flooded, but I can't tell anyone to get away from waterways. Watch the jets in the skies that's where your rains comming from.

[@sherryo360]

There is more rain coming I think. I’m worried about LA. Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@ohUredneck]

Guess it's just a matter of time, before mother nature reminds us not to build there.

[@carolfrazer8067]

I know you said you are in a Suburban, but trust me, you're not safe driving through flood waters. You're flooded because it's coming down from up here in Wisconsin. It has rained here since last Thursday June 13th.

[@scottymatlock6799]

No it's not. That water doesn't make it to little rock.

[@bestever2682]

It was bad. Especially right near the river. It was really high on arch street too

[@kdalvarez4223]

Live in little rock Arkansas and I believe only north little rock was affected...not a single flood around little rock....prayers to those families

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

Yes, the Little Rock side is definitely higher in elevation

[@hemaraotimi1812]

To think that you should be seeking higher ground , the power and unpredictability of water water water water water water

[@worseto1]

I am sure many will leave after this much destruction.

[@cherylhirschdiyfun4636]

So sad for the families of this flood. Hoping it will go down and they can rebuild their lives again very soon. Take and be safe.

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

Glad to hear its cresting.

[@digarcia1890]

Tragic...yet God is still good and will bring something beautiful from this. This earth and our possessions are a temporary thing. Lord help us to look upward to where our help comes from. Help us Lord to know how to help and encourage one another.

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

Amen, we all need encouragement

[@JB-pd4ni]

Sad to see, clean up with be more than I could handle. Blessings to all those who have to recoup from this.

[@rodneyjohnston6280]

Cool I like A Big flood The river it is taking back their land

[@johnderosa2276]

It is most likely a punishment for the public satan statue in Little Rock.

[@John-te4cm]

You have a Sodom and Gommorha, femminazi mentality. You are afflicted with a diabolical disorientation

[@AfterTheRains]

Too sad for any words.

[@windwhipped5]

Launch a boat? Huh..

[@tworivers491]

Please check out Dane Wigington's channel

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

Yes I have checked it out, and believe what he is saying

[@drdraws9597]

Anybody on the river needs to have pumps!

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

When I was filming one day I could hear a pump running inside one of the houses but I think it got overrun

[@septimaz]

Maybe that 40 Acres and a mule was not such a bad idea after all ! Got Karma ? ;-)

[@joebonyan9596]

Stay away from my home town river guys no joke u fall in u not coming back no joke

[@geekygardens]

Hopefully the worst should be past. Stay Safe!

[@robertrockwell7581]

hope you get relief soon.

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

The river is back down in its banks

[@robfarnam938]

Not unless they duck hunt

[@dianecharles881]

Oh no!

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

Thank God the River is dropping

[@KPearce57]

If they do shoot birdies it will be ducks.

[@pureheartshomestead1742]

Lol

[@brycemumford9172]

If only these people had taken in consideration those types of conditions before moving into these lower elavtions. They may have been able to avoid these types of conditions. But my prayers still go out to those that weren't aware. May God bless you, and your families in these tough times!

[@ivanruata]

There's a reason for this flood i personally think that this is a sign of evils flooded cause people brought satanic statue
