We are over near Gretna just south of Tiburon. We just got back from Round the Bend Steakhouse. I have never seen that much water over by Mahoney. The area in between Hwy 6 and the river was half full of water.
Glad you all are up high and I hope your well gets better. It really is a sad deal. I grew up in Beatrice and went through the severe flooding in 1973 when I was in fourth grade. We were up high enough that we didn’t get any water in our house but many of our neighbors did. The big floodwater came within a half a block of us. The power was out for 10 days and we were out of school for a couple of weeks. I just remember how bad it smelled. There were snakes and rats skittering around the neighborhood which was pretty weird. Those people affected have a lot to get through before things get back to normal.
Our power pole to the well is down because of flooding. They can’t hook up a generator because it’s flooded. Apparently it will be a while until they can help us. We invested in water this week. God help those who are hardest hit.
