The flood waters are coming.

The flood waters are working their way into our area. I am glad to be living on a bluff and to not have to worry if my house will be flooded. If my house floods the whole country is in a bit of trouble! However, if they close the bridge between Iowa and Illinois, it could prevent my husband from getting to his job. So I guess we will just have to see how it works out. I am supposed to be going to St. Louis for a training next Friday but I don't know if I will be able to get into Missiouri or not. Again, we will just have to see what happens. Hopefully, they learned something from the Great Flood of 1993 (which I remember clearly) and they are proactive about the flooding instead of reactive. We had to take the trolley across the dam in order to see my dad. It was cool when I was a kid but not something I want to do again. I have strongly considered building an ark but the world was promised not to have that happen again the last time. Anyways, you think these college educated engineers would develop something a little stronger than sandbags to hold back flood waters. But alas, we will always being at the mercy of mother nature - who we have beat to death and is now exacting her retribution.
