Mom is in a nursing home on 24th, brother lives near the VA. I seem to remember the area around Maple and 24th being flood-prone, but assume that the home has made plans. She was just moved to a different room and doesn't have a phone yet, brother works odd hours and doesn't communicate much..I imagine that he will email if it looks serious. I'm not going to panic for a day or two in any case.
I can understand why you're worried. If it would make you feel better, feel free to FReepmail me once the storm heads this way. I'll be happy to give you local updates or check on your mom for you. Sounds like your mom isn't far from the hospital where I work. I *think I may know the name of her nursing home. Right now the models show we'll have some rain, but nothing we can't handle. The city has taken a lot of precautions, and remember W will be here to call in the calvary if necessary!
