That's awesome.

I wonder how the people must feel with their house in the middle of all that.

Snakes I can live with but not spiders.
I could be nowhere near that place.

John, they are just pics of millions of little garden Spiders making webs above the ground to stay safe from Floodwaters.

But if Spiders creep you out, yeah, best not to look.

Apparently they are Wolf Spiders. I see plenty around my place and they aren't exactly "tiny". They are atleast a good inch in size, often bigger.
