The Great floods of '93

[jdmidwest]

I sit in a Z 71 drinking beer and watching a rental property breach the sandbags we built up in Cape Girardeau.  That property is a field now and the owner died last summer.  But I think we have had several bigger floods since.  Once they had to open up a levee down near New Madrid.  Twice I have been stranded in St. Louis because I 55 was shutdown due to flood waters.

Keep dicking with the rivers and they will pay you back two fold.  Nothing beats the power of water.
