Well in my defense, it was before 7 that I posted that and I hadn’t had caffeine...

So HH’ers in other parts of the country: is the main stream media mentioning the fact that large parts of the midwest are very very wet and getting wetter? Record flood levels on some rivers here in Iowa? Not the Mississippi or Missouri, of course, but the Cedar, the Iowa, the Des Moines, the Wapsipinicon... all the local rivers are having a field day.

It’s getting mentioned here, but it’s being overshadowed by the fact that we’ve had almost a week of temperatures in the high 90s (and above yesterday).

I was watching some video of it on the news the other night with my older sister. It was she whose home was washed away in Katrina, and has been listening to folks in other parts of the country talk about how stupid she and others are for living on the Coast. She commented, with tongue very firmly planted in cheek on how silly those folks were for living along the river. ;o)

One just never knows what kinds of natural disasters will strike, and in which part of the country. We just do what we can. But I really feel for those folks, because it will take them a while to get their lives back together.
