"When the levee breaks; there ain't no place to stay"
 

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.

http://www.stevehardesty.com/

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

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!
Tim

BTW, I thought of taking my boat over there to go floating around, but
the currents from the Wabash river are string,a nd when the waters up
it's easy to get snagged on something that you can't see below you. My
brother did go over with a friend in his jon-boat and thought it was
interesting to see people skiing right down Old Route 250. LOL!

I always think of how perfect my boat would be in a situation like
that. It is perfect for shallow standing water, you can move a lot
with it and if the water is flat, almost impossible to flip. It would
probably be better for that with a jet drive though. Hey Tim, how
about an email update? Don't make me dig up your phone number;)
Thinking about you and your family..

Sounds like the docs are optimistic, and that's a good thing! Here's
wishing her and her family well.

Heh - when I was working for Texaco, a hurricane came inshore around
Morgan City - no big deal lot's of water - the usual.

When we left Morgan City with the drill rig, there was still some
water on the road (can't remember the route) and dang if there weren't
catfish swimming from one side of the road to the other.

It's was funny.

One of my buddies used to make the oil run from Venezula to Baltimore
on a big tanker - The Mount Vernon Victory. He made a video once of a
water spout about a mile off the port side of the Victory taken from
the bridge, when all you hear are these thumps - the water spout
apparently ran over a pod of squid, picked 'em up and dumped some on
the Victory. It was funny watching the squid cover the bridge deck
walk. :)

I have started several on topic threads and in each case the usual

I have tried to post only positive and on topic posts here yet
continue to be attacked and insulted by those same suspects.

Those same suspects claim that they want to improve the tone and

Go figure.
