Thanks for the sentiment guys! Really appreciate it.

Outlook is not so good. Water is not dropping very fast at all . Water currently still at 15 feet (flood level is 12 feet) and we are supposed to get another full day of rain on Friday. What is needed is a solid 3 or 4 days MINIMUM of no rain at all followed by very light to no rain for several weeks to get the water levels down, and that's not gonna happen.

After Friday, the extended outlook looks ok for several days, but I'm sure that will change for the worse ("always expect the worst and all surprises will be good ones"). But, even if it IS true, it will likely be too late for anything except seeing what can be salvaged.

I'm just really in a pissy mood, working on less than 2 hours of sleep, haven't eaten in two days (stress makes you lose your appetite), and really have nothing to look forward to. I guess the bright side is that at least me and my family are safe. And at least it's not as bad as the floods in China...

Anyway, I'll be leaving work soon, so unless I happen to get internet access in my friend's RV, I won't see you until tomorrow. Good night all.
