"Duck Creek coming out of it's banks again now." Damn. Not again. I still remember the flood of '93.

I'll never forget '93, seeing John O'Donnell under all that water. Insane.

Don't give me another thing to stress about. My friend in Lafayette is right near some tributary for some major river, can't remember which one.

Duck Creek flood was '90. It did real harm to the Iowa Quad Cities, including 3 feet of water in my folks' basement. And they were one of the luckier ones. '93 was the Mississippi flood. It polluted the area with an influx of national media and the slimiest of politicians, but did relatively little traditional flood harm until it passed to downstream areas. The worst economic harm it did may have been inspiring local slimy politicians to build the skybridge to nowhere to keep the riverboat gambling going during a future flood. Other major damage was avoided by businesses learning from the '65 river flood and relocating out of that flood plain.
