Been through a lot of floods and this one is freaking me out.
Hearing loud booms, hoping its not ice coming my way.

The booms you hear could be levees getting dynamited.
I was in NWMO this weekend for my stepbrother's funeral and talked with a lot of family friends about their farms. My farms are up in the bluffs so for once I am happy to have the lower valued land.
Some of our friends lost equipment, but it was hard to have sympathy for them since they have known for a few weeks that this was likely, and then they were given a 2-day notice of forced evac, but they still waited until the last day to try and move shit. Knowing one family's history leads me to think this is a great way for them to get a fat insurance check and some new equipment. If you ain't cheatin' you ain't trying.
