With flood waters so close to me I am wondering if my home will be spared. I pray it does not rain more before the Iowa River reaches it's crest next Tuesday. It is going to be heartbreaking . . .

Well today was interesting to say the least. There was a constant stream of sight seers past my place, turning around in our drive and parking in our lot where they shouldn't be, all to see . . .

I took a walk again today and shot some photos. The water is higher but not as much as I expected it to be. The Iowa River crested at the reservoir last night and so by tomorrow should began . . .

The flooding of 2008 is still on everyone's mind in my area and with still so much flood recovery to be done one wonders if there could be another year like the last one. Some flood mitigation . . .
