Default Thank You Lord!!!!!

We've had alot of rain here this Spring! My gravel from my driveway has ended up in the ditch blocking the unused driveway culvert and into the yard where I mow! I cleaned this up once before and dug out where the culvert could drain. Friday night and Saturday morning we had Flash Flooding! I checked out the problem once again Saturday evening but put it off until Sunday!
Sunday, I got up and started in the yard as usual reworking flower beds, small garden, etc. I started down to remove the gravel from the downside of the culvert several times but put it off to do something else!
I finally decided to dig out the gravel! Hooked the yard trailer to the mower and dumped the leaves & dirt from the last culvert cleaning. Drove back down to the driveway, loaded the shovel & rake. Started to get on the mower to go down to the culvert but turned to go do something else I had thought about several times.
As I turned and took about 4 or 5 steps, I heard a loud crash! As I turned I saw a car racing out of control, hit the west side of the culvert, flipped over, spun around & landed just where I would have been digging out on the East side of the culvert!
I ran in and called 911 and had the ambulance sent out! One person and she wasn't hurt that dadly even thought she didn't have her seat belt on!!
Showing the pictures of where I would have been.....where she landed and the damage that would have surely put this Old Boy in the Grave if I'd gone on down there!!!!!

THANK YOU LORD FOR LETTING ME STICK AROUND FOR A FEW MORE DAYS!!!!!
Thanks For Looking, Roger

Glad he kept you safe Roger, and no one was seriously injured.
Well maybe you can get the insurance co. get you a new pipe and clean it out when they put it in.

Hey Roger I am glad you were not hurt, and neither was the driver. There was a reason you did not go down to clean out that ditch, Beale.
