KPVI, Channel 6 out of Pocatello, did an "exclusive" on the flooding in Swan Lake on Sunday, June 14. We were watching the news when it came on. Bob Hayes and Kim Thomas were interviewed for the story. I checked KPVI's website, but they do not have the video there, but they do have a story about it. You can find it here.Deb and I along with the girls were in Swan Lake that day to support Jackie's friend, Shannon Fleischmann, and her baby boy Noah being blessed. Brad did it for the family. Rex and Lori Criddle with several of their children were also there for support. We had a delicious Dutch oven dinner (chicken and potatoes) along with other delightful delectables! (I sound like a food critic!)
After dinner, Jackie, Brayden, Shantae, Taylee, the Criddles, and Fleischmanns left. A few minutes later, it started to downpour and then subsided. Shortly after that, a huge river of floodwater was roaring down Swan Lake Creek. The Matkin home was completely surrounded by water, and Brad got a call that the church was flooded. We began to wonder if we would have to stay there all night since we were surrounded by water. Eventually the floodwaters did subside, and we were able to get home.
