It boggles my mind that they didn't think to release some of the water more gradually and sooner so as to avoid this, but I guess they know what they're doing. Omaha is prepping as well; the downtown can handle 46-48 feet above flood stage and we are only expecting to get 36 feet. But there are a lot of homes and businesses that will be gone when it's done. So glad to know that your family is safe!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-53447857787552167042011-06-02T15:44:17.101-05:002011-06-02T15:44:17.101-05:00I had been thinking of you, but didn't have ac...I had been thinking of you, but didn't have access to Internet for a few days. The very first time I saw the Mississippi River (crossing from Iowa into Illinois), there were houses floating in it. Made a lasting impression.<br /><br />I do feel so sorry for those who have lost and will lose their homes. <br /><br />Yes, there is new snow. (I got snowed on yesterday and am still chilled.) I think you mentioned this or hinted at it - the problem is that at the higher elevations it has been so cold. There is still over 8 feet of snow in the mountains here (Idaho). This late in the season, when the weather does turn it will get hot literally overnight causing rapid melting (runoff). Here, temps can go from freezing at night to 100 degrees in the daytime or turn to 100 degree weather with warm nights within a day or two. Luckily for you, you live on the other side of the Continental Divide so won't get this added to your mess.<br /><br />Glad you out of harms way. And, it is nice to know that people are working together.Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-68149079045810783482011-06-01T19:43:46.064-05:002011-06-01T19:43:46.064-05:00Wow, I hadn't even heard of this but I'll ...Wow, I hadn't even heard of this but I'll admit that I watch the news less and less these days.

Prayers that the waters divert and flow away from disaster - you are SO right about it being a slow motion disaster thing and the worst is only staring, I'm sure. It's horrible! The weather this year is just awful.

My heart goes out to all the people who will be affected by it. It is rather odd that there hasn't been more national news on it... I guess once there are pictures of major flooding the news crews will arrive.
