I know how scary your situation can be, having lived through the recent floods in Iowa from last summer. Here's a write-up I put together on that during the height of the flood: http://www.gearcrave.com/2008-06-16/high-and-dry-the-flood-of-2008-and-gearcrave/ Best of luck to you, your family, your friends and your community, and sorry to hear about that officer that died. If it's any consolation, my community bounced back quite well and is continuing to develop new preventative measures against flooding. Sometimes it takes the knock of misfortune to rally a community to work together to build a better, safer lifestyle. Good luck Andy! Hey Andy, my well wishes go out to you and yours.

Other people have had it a lot worse, some bridges have been washed away (a policeman was on one of them when it happened and his body was later found on a beach), one town centre was under 6 feet of water, and some roads are still unpassable.
