    Oh No!

    Getting evacuated and not knowing if your home will be there in the end is seriously stressful! I hope they all are out of harms way.

    I was messaging with Rod, Evilroyslade, and he is ok. Sad deal all around though. Hope everyone there can evacuate.

    Thanks for the update Cole. That looks like a real bad deal there!

    Yes, thanks for the update Armbru84

    It is really a mess around that area. To compound things, many folks will now look out their cottage windows and see mud rather than water. Downstream, can you imagine the mess with all the stuff floating downstream? And if that dam breaks at Sanford it will cause even more disaster. Makes me very happy I do not live in the area for sure but also makes me hurt thinking of all the people who lose so much.

    It's bad up there, and they say that the water will continue to rise the next couple days

    the people downstream won't be getting back in their houses for a long time

    While I feel terrible for everyone's losses, river valleys and flood Plains are called that for a reason.

    Stay safe

    2020 is really bringing heartache to a lot of people. I'm sure some people in economic hardship took a gamble and let the insurance lapse.
