Here's some pics of the flooding just 50 miles from me. a guy made
this website to show the vastness of the water in Lawrence Co. IL.
where I'm origionally from.

In fact, in the 80's I lived in a small highway community of Westport
IL which is on the IL. side of Vincennes Indiana. The Wabash River had
three levees break and it naturally went on the Illinois side.

In this pic, you can see my old two story house which is surrounded by
trees. Look at the water level, it's up to the top story window The
blue building is the chrysler dealership.
I the left is a large yellow building which was the maintenance/ class
building for the Vincinnes University Aviation mechanics school and
Vincennes University airport.
at the top of the pic is the roof of a resteraunt.


Fortunately they got all the cars and planes out fo there


Stay safe, man. How's your wife doing?- Hide quoted text -

Oh yeah, I'm 50 mi. away from all that, and we're doing ok. The wife
jsut finished her 3rd round of chemo. Had an MRI which looked
questionable, so they ordered a mamogram. Found out she has a small
cyst showing up, but with testing it proved to be nothing. not
cancerous. That's a relief, then thursday she had to dring a jar of
barium, go for another test of some sort. we're waiting for the
results on that one. Then monday she goes to be measured for radiation
treatments on her throat.

But the doc's are imressed with her progress.

She's tired, sore, cranky but other than that, we're doing ok.

Thanks!
