Flood Worries

[guidofatherof5]

Dang. Scary stuff Steve. All I have to say is that if it does flood, I hope the power is out. You know what happens when water reaches sockets. No amount of swimming will help that.

I'll cut the power before they do. Turn the gas off too.

Good idea lol, that's something i didn't think of

The river level in our area dropped by 1 foot over the last week.
It's still 6+ feet above flood stage so life continues on the edge here.
Only 2-3 months more and it will be done.
We're hoping we'll be here to enjoy it.

Sounds like some progress in the right direction at least..

The river dropped another 6 inches but is still over 6 feet above flood stage.
They opened a small stretch on I-29 which included the exit just blocks from my house. This will make travel more convenient for us.
Found some structural problems(caused by ground water pressure) with my house foundation. It's not critical but will have to be addressed at some point. It will probably involve raising the house off the foundation on that side.
Not something I'm looking forward to.
We are in a heat wave and are expecting highs near 100 for the next week.
Factor in the high humidity and the heat index will be around 115 degrees.
