I swear, it doesn't matter how high end of a rig one has, it's always something. Good job on the repairs, thanks for the details. Hope we never need to refer back to it. God what a pain in the arse!

The community really turned out with the football team leading the way. We prepared for the worst and hoped for the best. The waters are receding and never really challenged our defense line. We are much more fortunate than those east of us. Doug and Steph,

The damn is over filled, Chamberlain funeral home is surrounded by water and they keep shutting down the highway between Perry and Adel. The river is almost level with the bridges going outside of town on Highway 6, but unlike the 93 flood I can't see fish swimming in the ditch yet. So far the only levee they rebuilt after 93 that did not hold; was in one of the subdivisions in Des Moines. More rain tonight hopelfully everyone will stay dry. There is so much water right now.

Along with some of the students helping to sandbag other buildings. It is great what so many people are/were willing to do to preserve literature. May it never stop.

The Raccoon River was "behaving", but with more rains since then they have sandbagged the entire stretch of the park, etc. It was good to see your sister, Barb, and i had a beer with Jim Schwarzkopf and Jim Peters on sunday night. I told them i caught up with you guys in Santiago back in late 2007. Hope all is well in Chile. I think of you often. Doug & Steph:

I hope that is something that never changes. Thanks for sharing this story - I would have joined you on those steps, my love.

Hope this finds you both in good spirits. Milwaukee has already set a new record for the rainiest month in history, and today is the 14th. This on top of record snowfall last winter. I feel for the folks in IA, but there are several WI towns that are going thru the second major flood in a year as the mighty Kickapoo river broke it's banks. (Gays Mills and Soldiers Grove to name two. We visited both last month.) They were flooded in AUG 2007 and again this week. And I was complaining about two inches in the basement.....!?

Cedar River in CR is 12' higher than flood of 93, you wouldn't believe the pictures, it looks like Venice. DSM has benefited from the extra levies & precautions taken after the "500-year flood"; we need to think of a more fitting name for these 1.5-decade floods.
