now that I've actually seen the photos, Wow! (for some reason, sometimes photos won't load on my work computer, which has high speed, but will load at home on dial-up, go figure)

Since I'm working on a "Flood Damage Reduction" project - don't you just LOVE government speak? Anyway, an urban flooding project... one thing that we have to look at is whether or not structures flood, if it's just streets and parks, it's considered a local problem and not a federal interest - think about whether or not claims will be made on Flood Insurance. My project is in a community where they were stupid enough to allow excavation in the subdivision roads, to build up the land where the homes were built - and now the home owners complain that they're stuck either at home or on the highway after a heavy rain. Home owners yell at local politicians, who beg for help... But since no homes are flooded, not a federal problem - although we can lower water levels because of flooding in adjacent neighborhoods (homes and businesses). The things I've learned in the past few years....

Anyway, I hope the water has crested, and y'all don't have to discover the joys of dealing with Flood claims and FEMA.

And if you're looking at more rain - get things up off the floor, to a second story if at all possible. The ground is saturated, so flooding could be worse. I'll send you some of our sun if it'll help.
