Flooding

   I live in a Tri state area and we have the Missouri running through us all.    Due to high snow melt and rain we are flooding in all 3 states.   The worse is yet to come as the dam will be releasing water tomorrow and the next 2 weeks.  Some houses are all ready flooding and Dakota Dunes,  a very wealthy section in South Dakota, is expected to be hit hard.


    I had a doctor appointment out there and it took us over a hour to get there because people are packing up and moving out and sand trucks are moving in.  See what I am saying here?   People are evacuating unlike in New Orleans!  Anyway.   They say it will get very bad. 

  I live on a hill so have no danger of flooding, but we are stocking up on water and supplies to grill in case we lose our clean water supply and electricity.   All my flashlights have batteries and if I had 2 good hands I would be sandbagging with the rest of them.

   My son is wading in the scummy water, yick.

   These bridge in the back in almost completely cover as is our bike trail and all the camping area's in the middle.   And this is just the beginning.  I can feel my taxes going up already.   So keep us in your prayers.   The next few weeks and months will be a challenge.

   And below is a photo taken by Mercy Air care.   One of our bike trail would be at that tree line you see under water.
