Here we go again!

Alright! My sandbagging/volunteering duties begin tomorrow.

The flood prediction is that the river will crest at 38 feet on Saturday. That is ridiculously high, but it's a breeze compared to some in the past. Here are the recent record levels:

2009: 40.7 feet
2006: 37.18 feet
2001: 36.70 feet
1997: 39.55 feet

The good news is that we're looking to end up right in the middle of these past record flood levels. The crest is predicted to be lower than 2009 and 1997 - the two greatest floods in history.

Let's do this!
