Water Water Everywhere

 

I guess when you live on the Mississippi River you have to expect these things, but it's the first time I've ever seen it like this. Last year the river was so low everyone was wishing for more rain.  Be careful what you wish for.

Our trailer is on the higher side and we're fine, but those in the lower levels had to get moved out.  We're hoping the river will crest soon and not come up any higher.

We just had a 50th wedding celebration in this cabana two weeks ago. There was a trailer there at the time.

This one didn't get out on time and we're hoping the river bank doesn't shift or it may go sideways and float down the river.

You can see people have been trying to stack things up to protect them.

We have a group of hard working men here who haul out the trailers and here they're cutting the power to the affected areas.

As you can see, they are being supervised.  Those supervisors look younger every year.

Good thing.  I wonder if that cord is plugged in to something.

Dean and Karen Ternus live here and they haven't yet arrived.

You might want to take a few days before you arrive, since the road to your area is closed right now. You have become an island.

People here take it in stride and here's a couple out for a kayak ride and gliding past the bench that normally is on the edge of the water.

Long Live the Water Queen
