My wives family, maintaine 2, 100 plus year old working farms in Missouri............thank god they are not close to this area, there would be blood shed.
They have survived indians and the civil war, they would fight and I'd be heading from New Mexico to join.
I can't believe the locals have not lined the levees.
It looks like things went according to plan ...
Levee blown up.
My B-I-L has a farm in Illinois, and he too, would be similarly as passionate as your wife's family. So difficult to read about this.
