Yes, Bill a good overview of the flood situation a lot of people are experiencing, and for me, it has encouraged me to keep my flood insurance (policy due today) even though the cost has already gone up over $400, just in case we do get a flood several metres higher than experienced in the past.

Unbeleivable the devastation. I simply cananot believe it. I was through this entire area on the national highway many years ago now. My thoughts and prayers are with the people.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, no fun at all - poor souls. Where on earth can all those displaced people go?
ReplyDeletemmm ... there is something to be said for being prepared ... the planning that will come from this will be a bunfight ... people will have to move I suspect ...
ReplyDeleteYou, Julie, have hit the nail on the head. Yes, from this, one hopes that something MIGHT be at last done. Should have been done decades ago.
