1. Wow, indeed.

I think LA and SD got the brunt this last round.

2. Yea I think you are right

I am amazed though that nobody issued a mandatory boil water order.

Our sewage systems were really overwhelmed and I know for a fact this is not good for water quality. I went and got some bottled water. Will use that for at least three days. Yes that is knowing better. (And my tummy is not what it used to be)

3. Glad to see you're doing OK,

At least I'm assuming that you are, since you are posting. Stay dry, stay safe.

4. I am about three feet over that

for the water to get to us, it mean a 50 year flood, at least.
